Investigation on structure, thermodynamic and multifunctional properties of Ni-Zn-Co ferrite for Gd substitution.

This study presents a modification of structure-dependent elastic, thermodynamic, magnetic, transport and magneto-dielectric properties of a Ni-Zn-Co ferrite tailored by Gd substitution at the B-site replacing Fe ions. The synthesized composition of NiZnCoFe Gd O (0 ≤ ≤ 0.12) crystallized with a single-phase cubic spinel structure that belongs to the 3̄ space group.
