Chemical engineering of cationic distribution in spinel ferrites nanoparticles: the effect on the magnetic properties A set of ~9 nm CoFe2O4 nanoparticles substituted with Zn2+ and Ni2+ was prepared by thermal decomposition of metallic acetylacetonate precursors to correlate the effects of replacement of Co2+ with the resulting magnetic properties.

Tunable particle-agglomeration and magnetic coupling in bi-magnetic nanocomposites A set of non-stoichiometric Zn-Co-ferrite nanoparticles(NPs) was prepared by thermal decomposition of metallic complexes, in the presence of oleic acid, and, after a ligand-exchange process, was coated by a hydrophilic surfactant: these NPs were used as seeds in a sol-gel self-combustion synthesis to prepare nanocomposites (NCs) with a fixed weight ratio.
