nanoferrite powder with the suitable stoichiometric ratio was prepared by using co-precipitation method. As prepared sample was characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope with EDX and Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). At room temperature the specific saturation magnetization (M
S
) of the prepared material was measured. From the powder XRD data, the average crystallite size was calculated. SEM images showed the surface morphology of prepared nanoferrite sample along with chemical mapping.
