“…Cobalt ferrite, owing to strong ferromagnetism and high Curie temperature, is used in electronic appliances as it causes the materials to stay magnetized even when the applied magnetic field is turned off, leading to a useful way of storing information. Substitution of Al 3+ [10], Cr 3+ [11], Nd 3+ [12] and Ni 2+ [13] decreases the saturation magnetization in cobalt ferrite, while Zn 2+ [14,15], Zn-Zr [16], Cu 2+ [17] and Cr 3+ [11] decrease the Curie temperature (T C ) and blocking temperature (T B resistivity is an important property for the materials to be used in data storage devices. Little attention has been given to the study of electrical properties of the substituted cobalt ferrite.…”
