A series of (CuFe 2 O 4 ) 1−x (SnO 2 ) x nanocomposites (x = 0, 1, 5, 10, 20 wt.%) have been prepared by urea-nitrate combustion method. The room temperature Mössbauer spectra of CuFe 2 O 4 and (CuFe 2 O 4 ) 0.99 (SnO 2 ) 0.01 contained two sextets while remaining samples contained at least four sextets with additional doublet indicating the presence of paramagnetic phase. The variations of isomer shift, quadruple splitting and magnetic hyperfine field values were found with the addition of SnO 2 .
