Rare earth Sm and Ce co-substituted nano crystalline cobalt ferrite, CoFe2-x-ySmxCeyO4 (x = y = 0.00, 0.5, 0.1, 0.12 and 0.25) have been synthesized by sol-gel combustion method to study structural, morphological and magnetic properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed the spinel structure with a s...
