Abstract

This paper presents a conductive component tailored to a flexible substrate using Al-doped CoxCa(0.90−x)Ni0.10Fe2O4 (x = 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75) for visible to near-infrared (NIR) spectra in magneto-optical applications. The developed nanoparticles show uniformity, nanosized grains, and capillary nanopore fusion characteristics, which are confirmed by x-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy analyses, respectively. The XRD analysis revealed crystallite sizes of 33.36, 37.08, and 44.25 nm and particle sizes of 45.6, 34.6, and 31.5 nm for the compositions x = 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75, respectively. The Al-doped nanoparticles are converted to a flexible solid substrate utilizing a polyvinyl alcohol matrix, facilitating conformality to build complex shapes and broadening their application scope. The structure shows higher absorption across 450–720 nm, 480–720 nm, and 200–850 nm spectra for x = 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75, respectively. The distinctive magnetic and electrical properties are also evaluated through magnetic force microscopy and conductive atomic force microscopy, culminating in a substrate with exceptional control over light–matter interactions with smooth surfaces with lower surface roughness. The vibrating sample magnetometer analysis of the substrate shows how varying cobalt content affects magnetic properties relevant for visible to near-infrared (NIR) applications, offering insights into coercivity, magnetization, and retentivity changes at different x values. The perceptible novelties of this work are advancements in material sciences aimed at enhancing light manipulation and flexibility for electronic devices.
