Abstract
In the present work, CuEu0.01Fe1.99O4 and CuEu0.01Sc0.01Fe1.98O4 nanoparticles were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis method for reporting the structural, microstructural, and magnetic properties of prepared samples. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirmed the spinel cubic structure with space group Fd3m. An average crystallite size was found in the range of 20-40 nm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations indicated the porous nature and particles agglomeration. The elemental composition of samples was studied by using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The magnetic hysteresis loop revealed the soft ferromagnetic nature. Magnetic parameters such as saturation magnetization, coercivity, and remanence magnetization decrease with an increase in Eu3+ and Sc3+ concentration.
