The present work designates the preparation of nanocrystalline nickel ferrite and aluminium-doped nickel ferrite nanoparticles with general formula NiAl x Fe 2−x O 4 (x = 0–0.7) prepared by the sol–gel auto-combustion method. The structural (XRD and FTIR), morphological (SEM with EDAX, HRTEM with SA...
