DESCRIPTION
Ferrites: Ferrites are mixed metal oxides of magnetic nature in which iron is the main component. In general, ferrites show four different types of crystal structures namely, 1] Ferrospinel Structure. 2] Hexagonal Structure. 3] Garnet Structure. 4] Orthoferrite structure. We are going to discuss about spinel structure as Co Ni ferrite is a spinel ferrite. Ferrospinel Structure. They have the general formula MeFe2O4, where Me is divalent metal ion or a mixture of ions having average valence of two. The unit cell is cubic. The oxygen ions forms a nearly close-packed face centered cubic structure and the metal ions are distributed over tetrahedral and octahedral holes. Normal ferrites:In which all-divalent metal ions occupy A sites and all the Fe3+ occupy B sites. e.x. Zn 2+ [Fe23+] O4 Zn 2+ ions have a very low octahedral preference; therefore they enter the A-sites of the lattice, resulting in normal ferrites. Inverse ferrites:In which all divalent metal ions and half the Fe3+ ions occupy B sites while remaining Fe3+ occupy A sites. e.x. Fe3+[ Fe3+ Ni2+] O4 Mixed ferrites:In which all divalent metal ions and Fe3+ ions are uniformly distributed over the tetrahedral and octahedral sites. Co - Ni ferrite is a mixed spinel ferrite, which has general formulae AII x BII 1-x Fe2O4

Mixed metal oxides
For the last several decades, the field of mixed metal oxides has served as a source of interesting and challenging research problems to technologists chemists and material scientists. Mixed metal oxides have distinct structural features which play important role in tailoring their electrical, magnetic, sensor, catalytic and other important properties which find applications in many important fields.
Mixed metal oxide of nano size show additional properties which finds applications in varied fields.
Ferrites are a class of mixed metal oxides of magnetic nature in which iron is the main component.
The ferrites with ferrospinnel structure have the general formula MeFe2O4 where Me is a divalent metal ion or a mixture of ions having average valence of 2.

FINE POWDER SAMPLE
Powder X-ray diffraction patterns for the samples under investigation were taken on Rigaku D-Max IIC diffractometer.
The particle size has been calculated from X-ray patterns using Scherrer formula.
Characterisation
• X-ray diffraction (XRD) • Powder diffraction method
Background counts were taken using KBr pellet.
IR spectra of KBr and the sample in the ratio of 100:1 were recorded in the wave range 4000-300 cm-1; on Shimadzu IR spectrophotometer.
INFRA RED SPECTROSCOPY (FTIR)
SOLID STATE PROPERTIES:
• Magnetic properties
The measurements were done on the usual hysteresis loop tracer and also on automated high field magnetic loop tracer.
The hysteresis loop of the samples were recorded.
The magnetic parameters were estimated.
• Electrical properties
• Conductivity
Two- probe method.
The resistivity of the samples was measured from room temperature to 500° c .
The variation of resistivity with temperature was studied for the samples.

•It can be seen from the plots that dielectric constant is found to decrease with increase in frequency reaching a very low value at higher frequency for all the samples. This shows that ferrite acts as dielectric material at low frequency regions. The value of dielectric constant at 20 Hz for sample 1 is 84.52, sample 2 is 117.97 and sample 3 is 246.01
• The combustion method used for the preparation results in fine particle ferrite
• The samples prepared are highly magnetic with low values of Coercivity and loss.
• The hysteresis loss and Coercivity for the sample 3 is found to be low. This confirms that the magnetic properties are dependent on particle size.
• The nature of resistivity plot exhibits semi- conductor behavior .
• Ferrite acts as dielectric material at low frequency regions.
