This book has given an overview of the sol-gel auto-combustion preparation method and characterization of Ni0.5Co0.5FeAlO4. This work focused on the structural properties XRD,TGA, SEM, TEM, FTIR, Magnetic Properties, Dielectric Properties were measured.By using the TG curve the exact temperature of formation of ferrite phase was obtained.The properties such as dielectric constant, dielectric loss tangent as a function of frequency and temperature. The addition of aluminium results in increasing the resistivity which decreases the dielectric losses and saturation magnetization. Sintering temperature and synthesis rout plays important role in the fabrication of nano-structured ferrite materials. Attempts are made to synthesis the ferrites by changing their sintering temperature and synthesis route in order to study the structural, electrical and magnetic properties. In the present investigation we have prepared the nanocrystalline powder of Ni-Co-Fe-Al-O ferrite and sintered at four different temperature 5000C, 6000C, 7000C and 8000C. Effect of sintering temperature on the structural, electric and magnetic properties of Ni-Co-Fe-Al-O ferrite nanoparticles were studied.
