. It is understood that the lattice parameters increase for Cu as compared to Zn contents. The magnetic properties were determined by using VSM, the saturation magnetization was found to be 34 emu/g and 17 emu/g, respectively, and the remnant magnetization was found to be highly depended upon the cation distribution and crystallinity of the investigated ferrite.
