ZnFe2−xNdxO4 (where x=0.012, 0.025, 0.050, 0.075, and 0.1) nanocrystalline ferrites were synthesized by the co-precipitation method followed by the heat treatment at 800°C for one hour. The morphological and structural properties of the mixed system were characterized by XRD, FTIR, TEM techniques. I...
