Abstract

Abstract: A comparative study on physico-chemical analysis of Cd ferrites nanofabricated by sol-gel method using citric acid as a complexing agent, with/without aqueous ammonia as a combustion process chemical additive (CPCA) has been carried out. Ferrites obtained by two different methods were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques and reveal that CPCA helps in the nanofabrication of ferrites (38 nm) at a lower temperature (500 o C), with high surface area (14.5067 m 2 /g) and novel electro-magnetic parameters( M S = 5.4273 emu/g).
