“…The fundamental requirements for such applications are the creation of soft ferrimagnetic characteristics at room temperature, high electrical conductivity, reduced eddy current loss, and chemical stability. 6 Several studies have been published on the magnetic and electrical properties of different Fe 3 O 4 derived compounds such as CoFe 2 O 4 , 7 MnFe 2 O 4 , 8 Co 1.25 Fe 1.75 O 4 , 9 Ni 1− x Zn x Fe 2 O 4 , 10 Mg 0.5 Co 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 , 11 and Ni 0.4 Cu 0.2 Zn 0.4 Fe 2− x Dy x O 4 spinel ferrite nanoparticles. 12 From these studies, we found that the magnetic exchange interactions and charge carriers hopping mechanism in these ferrites are considerably influenced by the cation distribution, surface spin structure, interparticle interactions, magnetocrystalline anisotropy and surface morphology.…”
