Abstract

The Pechini sol-gel method was applied to obtain LiMn2-xTxO4 (T=Ni, Fe; x = 0.1 to 0.5) nanopowders. Crystal and electronic structures, chemical composition and magnetic properties of the materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, XPS, SEM/EDX microscopy, PGAA, MOssbauer spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility respectively. XRD measurements showed that with the exception of 3 highest substitutions in the Ni series, the materials were single phase. Analysis of oxidation state of the dopants by XPS revealed ionic Ni2+ and Fe3+. Mossbauer spectroscopy also confirmed 3+ oxidation state of iron and its location on octahedral sites, which excluded the inverse spinel configuration. XPS examinations showed that Mn3+ ions dominate in the iron substituted series whereas the Mn4+ is dominant in the nickel series. Magnetic measurements indicated the presence of short range correlations in all of the compounds.
