Effect of divalent cation substitution (M = Mn, Ni, Mg, Cu) on the structural, magnetic and electrical properties of MFe 2 O 4 spinel ferrites

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate how different divalent cations affect the properties of MFe2O4 spinel ferrites.
• Used solid-state route for synthesis of MFe2O4 compounds with M2+ = Mn, Cu, Ni, Mg.
• Analyzed the structural, magnetic, and electrical properties post-synthesis.
• Different cations altered the structural and magnetic properties significantly.
• Electrical characteristics varied based on the type of divalent cation used.
