“…Values of δ ranging from 0.03 to 0.6 are reported in the literature, depending strongly upon the preparation procedures. 3,[12][13][14][15][16] ZnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles have been synthesized with a large variety of methods: coprecipitation, 4,17,[19][20][21]23,26,27,33 microemulsion, 5,18 supercritical sol-gel processing, [12][13][14][15][16] hydrothermal synthesis, 10,25 or high-energy ball milling. 3,[7][8][9]11 The magnetization has been found to increase with grain size reduction.…”
