Abstract :Spinel-type metal oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via co-precipitation approach. Mono ethylene glycol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MEG); was used as a capping agent to stabilize the particles and prevent them from agglomeration. The structural, morphological and thermal properties of the calcined sample were characterized by X-ray diffraction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(XRD);, scanning electron microscopy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SEM);, raman spectroscopy and thermal analysis. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EDX); has also proved that the element composition was composed of pure single phase and contained Co, Fe and O elements. The mean crystallite size of the prepared ferrite nanoparticles was determined to be in the range of 30-345 nm based on the SEM images. The magnetic measurements of the CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles were examined with a vibrating sample magnetometer insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VSM); at room temperature to determine their magnetic behavior and the magnetic parameters were found.
