Abstract

In the present study, an overview of the aspects of X-ray diffraction (XRD) in ferrite has been explored. Ferrite nanoparticles have a wide range of applications in various fields. XRD data could be used to measure the phases, crystal structure, and related parameters of ferrites. It can also determine the effect of doping and substitution on the crystal structure of the ferrite and the strain on the crystal lattice due to these variations. Cation distribution, bond length, interionic distances, bond angles, and hopping length can be calculated using XRD for the fruitful discussion of various properties of ferrite. From this study, it can be revealed that XRD is the ideal technique to elucidate not only the crystal structure but also the magnetic, electrical, optical, elastic behavior which could be explained by analyzing the XRD data systematically.
