nanoparticles were prepared by sol-gel auto-combustion method, using glycine as fuel agent.
Transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provided the data on morphological analysis
and particle sizes. Structural characterization was performed with x-ray diffraction which has given data about the spinel
single-phase formation. Chemical structure has been characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and by x-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy which proved the absence of organic phases. The magnetic properties investigated by vibrating
sample magnetometry and electron paramagnetic spectroscopy show that the ferrite particles are superparamagnetic
behaviour, depending on the chemical composition, shape and size of the particles, the synthesis method, crystallinity,
direction of magnetization and cation distribution. Dielectric properties were evaluated by dielectric permittivity and dielectric
losses measurements, using an Agilent 4294A Precision Impedance Analyzer, in the range of 40 Hz - 110 MHz.
