Abstract

This study aims to improve the magnetic and dielectric properties of Ni–Mg ferrites by incorporating cadmium. Ni0.6−xCdxMg0.4Fe2O4 crystals were synthesized using the sol–gel method, with doping ratios (x) ranging from 0.00 to 0.40. XRD analysis confirmed the primary cubic phase formation (space group Fd\(\overline{3}\)m), with Ni0.6−xCdxMg0.4Fe2O4 crystallite sizes ranging from 34 to 23 nm. Cationic distribution analysis revealed slight changes in ionic radii angles due to doping, influenced by the difference between Ni (0.69 Å) and Cd (0.95 Å) radii. Cd2+ concentration significantly impacted lattice constant, density and dislocation density. Increasing Cd concentration increased saturation magnetization in VSM measurements, while coercivity and remnant magnetization decreased.
