Cobalt-Doped Nickel Zinc Nanoferrites by Solution-Combustion Synthesis: Structural and Elastic Parameters

Cobalt-doped nickel zinc nanoferrites Ni0.45Zn0.55–xCoxFe2O4 (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) with a particle size of 8–12 nm were prepared by solution-combustion synthesis (SCS) using sucrose as a fuel and characterized by XRD, FTIR, Raman, and TEM techniques. For synthesized materials, their structural and elastic parameters were determined as a function x. Our results may turn interesting to those engaged in combustion synthesis of ferrites.
