“…XRD intensity peaks were reported at 2θ of 30.03°, 35.35°, 36.96°, 42.94°, 53.29°, 56.79°, 62.31°, and 73.76°, which are attributed to (220), (311), (222), (400), (422), (511), and (440) hkl planes, respectively, mentioned in Figure 3 . These hkl planes indicated the growth of pure fcc spinel structures of NiCuZn ferrite and obtained peaks agreed with the previously reported literature [ 30 ]. Obtained XRD patterns also endorsed the statement that the sol–gel auto-ignition technique is favorable for synthesizing spinel ferrites using described conditions [ 31 ].…”
