Abstract
In this investigation, the effect of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) additive on microstructure, morphology and magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles prepared by hydrothermal method was studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies in different synthesis conditions showed the formation of cobalt ferrite and cobalt oxide. Comparing IR spectrum of PVP additive, sol prepared before hydrothermal process and C-0.1PVP3, 190 obtained by FTIR spectroscopy indicated the formation of bond between PVP and surface of metallic hydroxide and cobalt ferrite particles, which prevented them from growing and coarsening. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to study the morphology of samples. According to vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) results, as PVP amount increases from 0.1 to 0.3 volume percent, coercive field increases from 298 to 684 Oe and saturation magnetization decreases from 58 to 51 emu/g.

Abstract
In this work, cobalt ferrite nanocrystallites were synthesized by air annealing of milled Co-Fe compound. Effect of annealing temperature on phase formation of cobalt ferrite and structural and magnetic properties of the product was studied. Analysis of annealed sample in 450 oC showed that around 46 weight percent of the specimen was changed to Co2FeO4. This value increased to 95 and 90% for 800 oC and 900 oC annealed samples respectively. Reduction of saturation magnetization under annealing was related to transformation of Co-Fe to cobalt ferrite. Increasing the value of saturation magnetization in 900 oC annealed sample compared to 800 oC one was attributed to decreased surface to volume ratio and crystallite size. The main reason of occurrence of maximum coercivity in 800 oC annealed sample was its low crystallite size.

Abstract
In this investigation, the structural and magnetic properties of Cr and Zn substituted Co ferrite with the general formula Co1-xZnxFe2-xCrxO4 (x= 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) as prepared by sol- gel method were studied. The structural, morphological and magnetic properties of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). XRD measurements along with the Rietveld refinement indicated that the prepared samples were single phase with the space group of Fd-3m. Results of SEM images also showed that the particles were in the nanosize range. Also, the magnetic properties of the samples indicated that the magnetization was first decreased, reaching the minimum value for x=0.1 sample; then it was increased. This behavior was related to the cation distribution at the tetrahedral and octahedral sites. Moreover, coercivity was significantly decreased with increasing the doping level due the decrease of magnetocrystalline anisotropy because of the nonmagnetic Zn ion substitution.

Abstract
In this research, cobalt ferrite powders (CoFe2O4) and cobalt ferrite/reduced graphene oxide composite (CoFe2O4/RGO) were synthesized by the co-precipitation method. The phase structure, morphology, magnetic properties, and microwave absorption properties of the produced samples were investigated through various techniques. X-ray diffraction test indicated the successful formation of pure CoFe2O4 and its composites with RGO. According to the Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, most pure and composite samples’ particles were formed in a semi-spherical shape. The VNA test results showed the saturation magnetization of CoFe2O4 and the composite containing 5 wt.% and 10 wt.% of RGO, 71.6, 56, and 37 emu/g, respectively. Also, the network analyzer results demonstrated the maximum reflective losses in the X-band range due to the impact of microwaves on CoFe2O4 te was -5.5 db. This amount reached 21.5 dB with the addition of 10 wt.% RGO. Also, the wave input increased from 41% for the pure CoFe2O4 to 99.5% for the sample containing 10 wt.% RGO.
