“…Metal-oxide nanoparticles draw attention due to their unique magnetic properties and other characteristics such as excellent chemical stability and mechanical hardness (Meng et al, 2009;Phua et al, 2009;Sanpo et al, 2013). Cobalt ferrite (CoFe 2 O 4 ) nanoparticles offer potential applications in several fields such as food, medicine, cancer treatment (Jamon et al, 2009) and other applications (Amiri and Shokrollahi, 2013;Sanpo et al, 2013a). These applications depend on the properties of ferrite which in turn depend on the conditions of preparation, the size and shape of the nanoparticles.…”
