Structural and magnetic properties of Co0.5Cd0.5Fe2O4 nano ferrite particles

Cobalt Cadmium Ferrite, Co0.5Cd0.5Fe2O4 nanoferrite powder with the suitable stoichiometric ratio was prepared by using co-precipitation method. As prepared sample was characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope with EDX and Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). At room temperature the specific saturation magnetization (MS) of the prepared material was measured. From the powder XRD data, the average crystallite size was calculated. SEM images showed the surface morphology of prepared nanoferrite sample along with chemical mapping.
