Abstract
Nanocrystalline nickel and zinc ferrites synthesised using a microemulsion technique were characterised by high resolution transmission electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry. A narrow and uniform distribution of crystals of size range 5-8 nm, distinguished by a clear lack of saturation magnetisation at 9 kOe, were obtained. Also, no coercivity or remanence was observed.
