Yb 3+ - and Pr 3+ -substituted cobalt–nickel ferrite nanoparticles were prepared through a sol–gel auto-combustion procedure and the effects on the cytotoxic, photocatalytic and magnetic characteristics of the resulting compounds were evaluated. As an initial step, the structure, morphology and magn...
