Characterization of pure and copper-doped iron tartrate crystals grown in silica gel

摘要

Single crystal growth of pure and copper-doped iron tartrate crystals bearing composition Cue?‘￥ Fe(1a?’e?‘￥) C4H4O6 ?· e?‘?H2O, where e?‘￥ = 0, 0.07, 0.06, 0.05, 0.04, 0.03, is achieved using gel technique. The elemental analysis has been done using energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) spectrum. The characterization studies such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetic analysis and thermal analysis have been done for crystals with e?‘￥ = 0 for pure iron tartrate and with e?‘￥ = 0.05 for copper-mixed iron tartrate crystals. A detailed comparison has been made between pure and doped crystals.
