“…We observed that the overall variation in the magnetization shows a decreasing trend with increasing operating pressure and increasing plasma power. It is well documented that the saturated magnetization, in NiFe 2 O 4 , is related to various factors related to the defects such as cation redistribution, the existence of surface spins, formation of spin glass structures and the presence of NiO [3,22,27,31,[35][36][37]. The fact that the XRD patterns do not indicate the presence of any oxide species apart from NiFe 2 O 4 , the possible lattice defects can arise from the cation redistribution alone.…”
