Superparamagnetic nanoparticles (NPs) have a prominent interest from researchers in the field of industrial and biomedical applications. Herein, Mg 2+ -substituted Mn–Zn ferrites with nominal composition Mn 0.5 Zn 0 . 5− x Mg x Fe 2 O 4 NPs ( x  = 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.375, and 0.5) are synthesized via...
