In the present study, nanoparticles of Mg-Ni-Zn ferrite with general formula Mg0.6-xNixZn0.4Fe2O4 (where x = o.5) have been prepared by using sol gel auto combustion method. The sintering process of synthesized compound was carried at temperatures 1500C, 3000C and 4500C for an hour duration. For the study of structural and morphological properties, various physical and chemical methods were used. For the confirmation of single-phase cubic spinel structure; the X-ray diffraction method was used. The lattice parameter, bond length (A – O and B - O), ionic radii (RA and RB), particle size x-ray density were determined from X-ray diffraction pattern. From calculations, it is found that crystalline size decreases from 37 nm to 35 nm and the lattice constant (a) increases from 8.3320 A.U to 8.3853 A.U as temperature increases from 1500C to 4500C. The grain size of prepared sample for various sintering temperatures were investigated by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image. It is found that the average grain size varies from 320nm to 210nm for increasing sintering temperature. EDAX analysis of X- ray diffraction shows the presence of used metals in the appropriate composition.
