Two series of magnesium-manganese ferrites, viz., Mg0.9Mn0.1InxFe2-xO4 and Mg0.9Mn0.1CryFe2-yO4 have been prepared using conventional ceramic technique. Magnetic properties such as saturation magnetization (M,), Curie temperature (T-c), initial permeability (mu(i)), and magnetic loss factor (tan 6), of the above series of samples are presented in this paper. M-s value increases slightly up to a certain concentration of indium ions thereafter it decreases, while in the case of Cr-samples saturation magnetization decreases steadily. The Curie temperature is observed to fall with increasing concentrations of both indium and chromium. The observed variations in T-c and M-s values are explained on the basis of exchange interactions. It is found that compared with Cr3+ ions, In3+ ions play more significant role in enhancing the initial permeability. The magnetic loss factor values lie in the range of 0.15-0.75 within the frequency range of 10kHz-10MHz. Explanation for the observed variation in mu(i) and tandelta with the increasing concentrations of indium and chromium are given. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
