Abstract
The variation of magnetization with cadmium concentration of the CdxCu1−xFe2O4 system has been obtained at a constant magnetic field of 5.57 x 105 Am−1 for x = 0.0 to 0.8 at room temperature (300 K). The observations indicate the existence of a Yafet-Kittel (YK) type of magnetic ordering in the mixed ferrites. A molecular field analysis of the YK spin ordering using a three-sublattice model is shown to explain the experimental data satisfactorily.
