Temperature dependent magnetic ordering and electrical transport behavior of nano zinc ferrite from 20 to 800K.

Highlights: [•] Nano zinc ferrite compound has been prepared by eco-friendly hydrothermal method. [•] Compound is well characterized by PXRD, SEM, FTIR, UV–Vis, DLS and Zeta profiler. [•] Material shows superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature. [•] Material is good for spintronics due to low coercivity and moderate conductivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
