Abstract

The present paper deals with the synthesis of Mn₃O₄/MgO nanocomposite through a simple sol–gel route and their electrical and magnetic properties are discussed for electrode applications. The grain size and particle morphology of the synthesized nanocomposite are characterized using XRD and HRSEM. The elemental compositions of the synthesized samples were analyzed using EDAX spectra. The dielectric constant, dielectric loss and AC conductivity of the synthesized samples were studied in the frequency range of 100 Hz–5 MHz at different temperatures (303–573 K) using impedance spectra. The activation energy was calculated using Arrhenius plot. The vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) study shows that the nanocomposites are found to be paramagnetic at room temperature.
