Abstract—

Copper-doped nickel zinc nanoferrites Ni0.45Zn0.55 – xCuxFe2O4 (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) were prepared by solution-combustion synthesis using sucrose as a fueland characterized by XRD, TEM, FTIR, and Raman spectra. The XRD results suggest the formation of single-phasenanoferrites with a cubic spinel structure. The FTIR spectra of synthesized nanoferrites showed two strong absorption bands (υ1 and υ2) at 569 cm–1 and 422 cm–1. For synthesized materials, their structural and elastic parameters were determined as a function of x. Our results may turn interesting to those engaged in combustion synthesis of substituted ferrites.
