23.1 Introduction
Nano-magnetic material with spinel structure containing two sub-lattices, tetrahedral A and octahedral B site, has become an important matter of study because of its
variety of industrial and biomedical applications [1–8]. Spinel ferrites (SF) have turn
into a prominent material of research mainly for addressing the basic correlation
between the spinel crystal structure and magnetic properties. This basic relation
between structural and magnetic properties can be studied via cationic distribution
at A and B site [9, 10]. Distribution of cations on A and B site depends on the
valency, ionic radii, presence of different cations (Zn 2+ , Ni 2+ ,Mn 2+ , Co 2+ , Fe 3+ ),
synthesis method, synthesis parameters [11], etc., which plays a decisive role in
determining structural and magnetic properties [12] of SF.
Cationic distribution can be effectively used in tuning the magnetic properties of
SF. The magnetization behavior of SF can be elucidated either by Néel’s collinear
two-sub-lattice model or by Yafet-Kittel three-sub-lattice model. According to
Néel’s model, the cationic magnetic moments on A and B sites are allied antiparallel
