Abstract:

Spinel solid solution Co2-xMn1+xO4 and Co2-xFexMnO4 were synthesized by Sol-Gel method using metal nitrates and citric acid as the starting materials. Crystalline phases, structure and magnetic properties of the Co2MnO4 doped with different concentrations of Fe and Mn were investigated by XRD、FT-IR and PPMS, respectively. Results show that Co2-xMn1+xO4 series are single-phase cubic spinel structure at x<0.6, the lattice parameter as well as the saturation magnetization are found to be increasing with the Mn content increasing. Co2-xMn1+xO4 series transform to tetragonal structure gradually at x≥0.6, which result in the decline of magnetic properties and difficulty of reaching saturation. Co2-xFexMnO4 samples have cubic spinel structure at x<1.75, the lattice parameter and magnetic increase with the increase of Fe-substitution. When the Fe content increases to 1.75, Fe2O3 phase is formed in the sample. The changes of performance are mainly due to the larger atom radius of the doping atoms (Fe or Mn) as compared to that of Co. And magnetic moment is another important factor to the performance change. The first-principles calculation results show that the magnetic moments of Fe and Mn are larger than that of Co. As a result, the interatomic magnetic interaction is enhanced by doping.
