Physical properties, magnetic measurements, dielectric relaxation, and complex impedance studies of cobalt-doped zinc ferrite nanoparticles

Pure and cobalt-doped zinc nanoferrites (Zn1−xCoxFe2O4, x = 0.00, 0.03, 0.06, 0.09) have been successfully prepared by cost-effective co-precipitation method. The formation of single spinel ferrites, purity, structure, and cation distribution of the material was determined by the X-ray diffraction method at room temperature. The phase formation, elemental composition and surface morphology were confirmed from the FTIR spectroscopy and SEM. The...
