“…11 Besides, doping of rare earth ions such as Ce− Dy, Dy 3+ −Y 3+ , Ce−Nd, 6−8 Y 3+ , Ho 3+ , Sm 3+ , Nd 3+ , and Er 3+ into the ferrite has changed the structural and magnetic parameters. 12 Different synthesis techniques such as sol−gel, 4,13,14 sol−gelassisted auto combustion, 3 microemulsion, 15,16 sonochemical, 7 co-precipitation, 17,18 and hydrothermal 19 have been used to synthesize nanocrystalline Co spinel ferrites. Among them, the sol−gel route is convenient due to its easy preparation, cost effectiveness, and better control of size.…”
