Abstract

Abstract Nano Zn0.9Ni0.1Co2-xFexO4 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15) specimens were synthesized utilizing the hydrothermal method. An extensive assessment was conducted on the structure and dielectric characteristics of the fabricated specimens. The synchrotron x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques were employed to analyze the formed phases and the morphological characteristics of the specimens. Rietveld refinement was utilized for determining the structural and microstructural parameters of all specimens. The impact of temperature and frequency on the dielectric properties of the material is thoroughly investigated. Except for the specimen with x = 0.15, all samples exhibit ferroelectric characteristics. The electric modulus corroborated the existence of the non-Debye relaxation phenomenon and the presence of relaxation times distributed at a specific frequency. Each specimen demonstrates a singular relaxation time, which was modified by the introduction of Fe ions. Through the utilization of the Phy-X/PSD software, the radiation shielding parameters for the examined specimens were computed across a wide energy spectrum ranging from 15 KeV to 15 MeV. These parameters encompass the linear attenuation coefficients (LAC), mean free path (MFP), mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), half value length (HVL), effective nuclear number (Z eff), and fast neutron removal cross-section (FNRCS). The specimens of Zn0.9Ni0.1Co2-xFexO4 exhibit elevated FNRCS values compared to RS-253-G18, RS-360, and RS-520 commercial shielding glasses.
