In this research work BaPrxFe2-xO4 (x = 0.0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.10) spinel ferrites have been synthesized successfully by sol-gel technique. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the fcc spinel phase of the synthesized samples. All the samples showed inhomogeneous grain size distribution observed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Temperature dependence normalized AC susceptibility and Curie temperature studies revealed that BaFe2O4 exhibited multidomain (MD) structure with high Curie temperature. On the other hand, multidomain to single domain (SD) transitions occurred when the praseodymium is substituted into barium spinel ferrites. Narrow loops showed the soft nature of ferrites and it was confirmed from magnetic properties of the prepared samples. Decreasing trend of saturation magnetization and remanence was observed with the substitution of praseodymium contents. Coercivity and anisotropy constant both enhanced with the praseodymium concentration. The above-mentioned parameters revealed that the synthesized spinel ferrites might be useful for the of high-density magnetic recording applications.
