El-Tabey %J Journal of Applied Sciences %D 2005 %I Asian Network for Scientific Information %X The effect of Al-substitution on the physical, IR spectra and magnetic properties of Mn0.5Ni0.1Zn0.4AlxFe2-xO4 (x=0 to x=0.15, with step= 0.025) ferrites, prepared by conventional ceramic method, has been studied. The analysis of IR spectrum indicated the distribution of Al-ions between both A and B-sites. On Al substitution, the values of saturation magnetization, initial permeability and Curie temperature were increased. The dc resistivity is also increased with increasing Al-content. Such results are promising ones for the high frequency applications. %K Ferrites %K IR-spectra %K mangnetic properties %K Mn-Ni-Zn ferrites %K Al3+-substituted ferrites %U http://docsdrive.com/pdfs/ansinet/jas/2005/162-168.pdf
