Spinel ferrite magnetic nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention because of their high and flexible magnetic properties and biocompatibility. In this work, a set of magnetic nanoparticles of cobalt ferrite doped with zinc was synthesized via the eco-friendly sol-gel auto-combustion method. Obtained particles displayed a room-temperature ferromagnetic behavior with tuned by chemical composition values of saturation magnetization and coercivity. The maximal values of saturation magnetization ~74 Am2/kg were found in cobalt ferrite nanoparticles with a 15–35% molar fraction of cobalt replaced by zinc ions. At the same time, the coercivity exhibited a gradually diminishing trend from ~140 to ~5 mT whereas the concentration of zinc was increased from 0 to 100%. Consequently, nanoparticles produced by the proposed method possess highly adjustable magnetic properties to satisfy the requirement of a wide range of possible applications. Further prepared nanoparticles were tested with bacterial culture to display the influence of chemical composition and magnetic structure on nanoparticles-bacterial cell interaction.

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.

<strong><span lang="EN-US">Abstract:</span></strong><span lang="EN-US"> The effect of bismuth ion substitution on the magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles was identified in this study. This method used in this study was coprecipitation method using 0.1 bismuth ion concentration. The results on hysteresis loop showed that the saturation magnetization of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles decreased with the substitution of bismuth ions, but the coercive field experienced the opposite. Saturation magnetization decreased from 57.97 to 51.19 emu / g, while coercive fields increased from 0.64 to 0.84 kOe.</span>

In order to study the effect of sintering temperature on the structure and magnetic properties of nickel-magnesium-cobalt ferrite, [Formula: see text] spinel ferrite with different sintering temperatures (500[Formula: see text]C, 600[Formula: see text]C, 700[Formula: see text]C, 800[Formula: see text]C, 900[Formula: see text]C and 1000[Formula: see text]C) was prepared by sol–gel method. The magnetic properties of the prepared samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results show that the sintering temperature has a significant effect on the structure and magnetic properties of nickel-magnesium-cobalt ferrite. Analysis of the XRD pattern confirmed that all samples showed a single-phase cubic spinel structure. The particle size of the prepared sample determined by the Scherrer equation was 51 nm to 135 nm. As the sintering temperature increases from 500[Formula: see text]C to 1000[Formula: see text]C, the intensity of all peaks gradually increases, the crystallinity and particle size of the sample increase significantly, but the coercive force decreases, the saturation magnetization, the residual magnetization and the squareness [Formula: see text] increase first and then decrease. Compared with other samples, the 800[Formula: see text]C sintered samples had the highest saturation magnetization (59.03 emu/g), remanent magnetization (30.65 emu/g) and squareness (0.519). The increasing peak height of [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text] indicates that the cubic spinel structure samples have good crystallinity and magnetic stability.
