Nanomaterials of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) doped with zinc have been synthesized by co-precipitation using KOH solution of 10-4 M as a precipitant. The effect of zinc contents and calcination temperature on the structure and magnetic properties of Co1-xZnxFe2O4 were studied. The parameters of the crystalline cubic lattice (a ~ 8.4 Å) and the crystalline size (d = 20–30 nm) increased with increasing the calcination temperature and zinc content in the samples. However, the remanent magnetization, saturation magnetization, coercive force and M at the maximum field decreased with increasing the zinc content. The nanomaterials of cobalt ferrite doped with zinc have Hc values in the range of 8.67–179.63 Oe, Mr values in the range of 1.33–16.90 emu/g, which are quite smaller than those of original CoFe2O4 material (Hc=497.89 Oe, Mr=36.29 emu/g); moreover, the nanomaterials prepared have Ms values in the range of 56.00 – 99.97 emu/g, which are similar to those of original CoFe2O4 material (Ms= 88.67 emu/g) and are quite higher than those of original ZnFe2O4 material (Ms ~ 1.2 emu/g).

Manganese substituted nickel–copper–cobalt ferrite nanoparticles having the basic composition [Formula: see text] (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4) were synthesized by sol–gel auto-combustion method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to estimate phase purity and lattice symmetry. All the prepared samples show the single-phase cubic spinel structure. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements also confirm the cubic spinel structure of the ferrite that is formed. The preparation of samples show these nearly spherical particles by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The magnetic properties of Mn[Formula: see text] ion substituted in nickel–copper–cobalt ferrite were studied by Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The saturation magnetization ([Formula: see text]), remanent magnetization [Formula: see text], coercivity [Formula: see text], magnetic moment [Formula: see text] and anisotropy constant [Formula: see text] first increase and then decrease with the increase of [Formula: see text] ions content. They had better magnetism than pure sample and other substituted samples when the substitution amount of [Formula: see text] ions was [Formula: see text]. At [Formula: see text], the maximum values of remanent magnetization [Formula: see text], saturation magnetization [Formula: see text] and coercivity [Formula: see text] are 25.58 emu/g, 61.95 emu/g and 689.76 Oe, respectively. This indicates that the magnetism of ferrite can improve by substituting with the appropriate amount of manganese. However, due to the excess [Formula: see text] ions instead, ferrite magnetism is weakened. This means that these materials can be used in magnetic data storage and recording media.

Holmium orthoferrite HoFeO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple co-precipitation method via the hydrolysis of Ho (III) and Fe (III) cations in boiling water with 5% aqueous ammonia solution. After annealing the precipitate at 750 and 850 °C for 1 hour, the single-phase HoFeO3 product formed with particle size < 50 nm. The synthesized nanopowders are paramagnetic materials with remanent magnetization Mr < 0.01 emu·g-1, the coercive force Hc = 20÷21 Oe, and magnetization Ms ~ 2.73 emu·g-1 at 300 K in a maximum field of 16,000 Oe.
