Abstract

A series of polycrystalline spinel ferrites with composition CoFe2-xNdxO4(x=0.0, 0. 05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25) have been synthesized by sol gel method. The structural characterizations of the prepared samples were done using XRD and TEM. The crystallite size shows an increase with the increase in the concentration of neodymium. The activation energy has been calculated from the temperature dependent DC conductivity measurements. The dielectric properties were studied and analyzed as a function of frequency. All the samples exhibit normal dielectric behaviour which is attributed to Maxwell- Wagner interfacial polarization.
