Abstract—Zn-substituted copper nanoferrites Cu1 – xZnxFe2O4 (x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0) were prepared by solution-combustion synthesis (SCS) and their structural, dielectric, and magnetic properties were characterized by XRD, magnetic, and impedance measurements. Based on X-ray diffraction patterns, various structural parameters such as lattice parameter, crystallite size, micro strain, dislocation density, hopping lengths, and bond lengths were derived. Furthermore, the effect of Zn2+ dopant on the magnetic and frequency-dependent dielectric properties of synthesized ferrites was discussed. Our results may turn helpful to those engaged in R & D of new ferrites.
