“…The diffraction peaks corresponding to planes (2 2 0), (3 11), (2 2 2), (4 0 0), (4 2 2), (3 3 3), (4 4 0) and (6 2 0) provide a clear evidence for the formation of spinel structure of the ferrite [14]. This observation matches well with those of earlier reporters [15,16]. It is also noted that the ferrite is free from residual a-Fe 2 O 3 phase, which is normally expected during synthesis at relatively lower temperatures.…”
