	abstract = {<p>Polycrystalline magnesium ferrite (MgFe(2)O(4)) was prepared by the co-precipitation method. The synthesized compound was characterized for their phase and morphology by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Conductance responses of the (MgFe(2)O(4)) were measured towards gases like hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), ethanol vapors (C(2)H(5)OH), SO(x), H(2), NO(x), NH(3), methanol, acetone and petrol. The gas sensing characterstics were obtained by measuring the sensitivity as a function of various controlling factors like operating temperatures and concentrations of gases. It was found that the sensor exhibited various responses towards these gases at different operating temperatures. Furthermore; the MgFe(2)O(4) based sensor exhibited a fast response and a good recovery towards petrol at temperature 250 degrees C. The results of the response towards petrol reveal that (MgFe(2)O(4)) synthesized by a simple co-precipitation method, would be a suitable material for the fabrication of the petrol sensor.

	abstract = {<p>Mixed MgNi ferrites with composition Mg(0.5)Ni(0.5)Fe(2)O(4) where the mole fraction for Ni (x = 0, 0.25, 0.75, 0.5 and 1) were prepared by following co-precipitation method at temperature 110 degrees C and maintaining a pH of solution equal to 9.5 enable to achieve large particle surface area. The resultant materials obtained in powder form were sintered at different temperatures. Thermogravimetry (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy, technique were applied to obtain structural parameters. The XRD patterns reveal the presence of(311) peak as the most intense one. The intensity of XRD peak increases with increase in sintering temperature. The saturation magnetization values showed increasing trend with increase in sintering temperature from 2.37 to 29.76 emu/g. These results along with the analysis of SEM micrographs are interpreted in terms of increase in particle grain size with increase in sintering temperature. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
