Nanocrystallite powders of 5 wt% Sm3+ added Mg-Cd ferrite samples were prepared by oxalate co-precipitation method. XRD, SEM and FT-IR techniques were used for characterization of the samples. The XRD reveals cubic spinel nature with secondary phase (SmFeO3). The crystallite size lies in the range of 28.69 to 32.66 nm. All the Sm3+ ions added samples are humidity sensitive at low humidity range 40 to70 %RH. The electrical resistivity of Sm3+ ions added samples decreased by four orders of magnitude, when %RH increased from 40%RH to 90 %RH. The response and recovery time of all the samples are 160-290 sec. The shorter response time was observed for Sm3+ added Cd ferrite sensor.
