? 2022 Elsevier B.V.SrFe12O19 (SFO) nanofibers (NFs), CoEu0.02Fe1.98O4 (CEFO) NFs, and hard-soft (H/S) SrFe12O19 (SFO)/(CoEu0.02Fe1.98O4)x (CEFO) (x = 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5) nanofiber composites (NFCs) were produced via electrospinning approach. The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns for the studied compositions confirmed the coexistence of characteristics peaks of both phases (Sr-M-type hexaferrite and cubic spinel ferrite) without any impurity. The lattice parameters ‘a′ and ‘c′ for hexagonal SFO and ‘a′ for CEFO NFs are fluctuating with increasing the ratio of CEFO NFs. The surface of nanofibers showed fibers having some roughness and bumps. They are consisted of hexagonal particles belong to SFO mixed and fine cubic CEFO NFs. These observations were confirmed by SEM (Scanning electron microscopy) along with EDX (Energy dispersive X-ray) and HR-TEM (High resolution transmission electron microscopy). The fibers showed a non-uniform cross-section with diameter between 33 and 95 nm. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopic (DRS) investigations were performed on SrFe12O19 NFs, on soft CoEu0.02Fe1.98O4 NFs, and on H/S (SFO)/(CEFO) (x = 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5) NFCs. Tauc method provided the estimation of optical bandgap (Eg) of each sample. The magnitudes for Eg are in the range of 1.56–1.77 eV. The magnetic responses of all samples in external applied magnetic field (M-H) were recorded at ambient temperature (T = 300 K) and low temperature (T = 10 K). Diverse produced nanofiber composites do not display no kinks in the measured M-H curves at both temperatures. Moreover, a single intense peak was clearly observed in the curves of dM/dH vs. H. These results reflected that the degree of exchange-coupling between hard and soft phases is well achieved via the employment of the electrospinning technique. At ambient temperature, it was observed that the magnetization is improving while the coercivity is diminishing with the increase in H/S ratio. On the contrary, at T = 10 K, the rise of CoEu0.02Fe1.98O4 content within diverse H/S NFCs provokes a slight decline in magnetization and a great enlargement in coercivity. The plausible reasons for such tendencies were discussed.
