Ni1-xZnxFe2O4 (0 ≤ x ≤1) nanopowders (average particle size ∼ 30 nm) have been synthesized by using a ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid precursor based method. The synthesized nanopowders were obtained by calcining the precursors in air at 450°C. Microstructures of the nanopowders and samples obtained on sintering have been studied by using Scanning Electron Microscopy. DC electrical resistivity was found to be ∼107Ωcm for the as-synthesized nanopowders and ∼106.cm for sintered samples. Room temperature magnetization has also been measured for all compositions and it exhibits a decrease with increasing Zn content in the samples.
