Magnetic spinel zinc ferrite nanoparticles have been prepared via simple, green, cost effective and eco-friendly methods. The development of a single cubic phase of prepared zinc ferrite is affirmed by XRD with an average crystallite size of 17.12 nm. FTIR analysis confirms the modes of the cubic Zn...
