Abstract: A series of Caesium (Cs)-doped (alkali metal ion) Mn ferrites was synthesized using solution combustion method. Characterization of the investigated ferrites was performed using several techniques, specifically, X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). XRD-based structural parameters were determined. A closer look at these characteristics reveals that cesium (Cs) doping enhanced the manganese ferrite lattice constant (a), unit cell volume (V), and dislocation density (δ). It also enhanced the separation between magnetic ions (LA and LB) and bond lengths (A-O and B-O) between tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) locations. Furthermore, it enhanced the X-ray density (Dx) and crystallite size (d) of random spinel manganese ferrite displaying opposing patterns of behavior. FTIR-based functional groups of random spinel manganese ferrite were going to be determined. These characteristics of MnFe2O4 particles, such as their size, shape, and crystallinity, demonstrate that these manufactured particles are present at the nanoscale and that caesium doping caused shape modification of the particles. The magnetization of manganese ferrite fell with a corresponding increase in coercivity. In this paper we are presented only the XRD analysis of the samples.
