In the present study, influence of holmium (Ho) and cerium (Ce) ions on the electromagnetic properties of Ni0.67Zn0.33Fe1.9Ho0.1-xCexO4 ferrites (x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1) synthesized by the self-ignited sol-gel method was studied. The XRD experiment was performed to determine the substitutional effects on structural parameters. FTIR spectroscopy and I-V measurements were carried out to analyze the spectral and electrical behavior of substituted samples. X-ray diffraction patterns revealed the FCC structure of the prepared samples The value of average crystallite size was noticed between 25.89-39.51 nm, while lattice constant was found in the range 8.37-8.41 Å. Both the low and the high frequency absorption bands were confirmed by FTIR technique. Tetrahedral band was noted in the range 463-495 cm-1 while octahedral band was observed in range 558-560 cm-1. The dc resistivity was observed to decrease with increase in temperature which indicates the semi-conductor like behavior of the prepared samples. Dielectric study showed that both the dielectric constant and the tangent loss factor were decreased with rise in the applied field frequency.

Silver nanoparticles were prepared via process of chemical reduction using sodium borohydride as reductant. The prepared nanoparticles were then utilized for synthesizing various compositions of nanocomposites with polymeric matrix of poly (vinyl alcohol). For doing so, the nanoparticles were dispersed in the polymer solution by vigorous stirring. The solutions of the nanocomposites were cast in films. The nanocomposite films were used for various characterization techniques; out of which three are being reported in this communication; XRD, TGA/DTA and SEM. The upshot of XRD proposes a semi-crystalline nature of synthesized nanocomposite. The crystalline character of the nanocomposite enhances with an increasing doping concentration of the prepared nanoparticles. Thermal analysis suggests the degradation pattern of the polymer nanocomposite material and represents that thermal stability improves as the silver nanoparticles are added. The SEM micrograph reveals a uniform surface with a well dispersed nanoparticle in the polymer matrix.

In the modern world researchers caught the attraction towards spinal ferrites. The current work is based on spinel ferrites having formula Ni0.5Co0.5CexFe2-xO4 where (x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2) Prepared by co-precipitation method. The confirmation of spinal ferrite structure was done through XRD analysis. The crystallite size was found to be in the range of 8 to 11 nm. Lattice perimeter is observe to obey the increasing trend due to replacement of larger ionic radii of cerium with smaller ionic radii of iron. Koop's phenomenological theory, Maxwell–Wagner interfacial polarization and Vegard’s law is used to explain the behavior of lattice constant. The electrical properties of prepared ferrites were revealed by impedance analyzer. Various parameters like real and imaginary parts of dialectic constant, impedance and modulus was determined. In the frequency range of 1 to 3 GHz the detailed electrical inspection was done. During the electrode polarization the effect of grains on the increasing substitution of cerium was analyzed through real and imaginary parts of electrical modulus M' and M". In the frequency range of 3 GHz the value of M' is 2.1934 × 10-1 to 2.6581 × 10-1 and the value of M" is from 4.67 × 10-3 to 3.538 × 10-3. AC conductivity spectra shows a non-Debye relaxation behavior and it dependents of conductivity on frequency. The observed dielectric constant, dialectic loss and tangent loss are found to be decreasing with the increase in frequency. The investigation shows that real and imaginary impedance Z' and Z" was found to be decreasing on lower frequencies and on higher frequencies all the curves merge with each other. The value of Z' and Z" at 3GHz frequency is in the range of 8.02 × 10-3 to 0.6073 and 3.7641 × 101 to 4.5617 ×101 respectively. Increase in frequency increases the AC conductivity. The applications of prepared nanoparticles are suggested in high frequency devices because of the splendid dielectric properties of these particles.
