Abstract
Co<sub>0.7</sub>Me<sub>0.3</sub>Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> (Me = Zn, Ni and Mn) were synthesized through co-precipitation method. Cationic distribution for these ferrites was proposed on the basis of magnetization measurements and available occupancy of the substituent ions into the spinel lattice. Theoretical lattice constant calculations confirm the proposed cationic distributions were the correct ones.
