In this study, the samples of the ZnFe2O4
(ZFO) spinel ferrites nanoparticles (SFNPs),

(x:y = 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1) (CNGaGdFO)x/(ZFO)y spinel ferrite nanocomposites (NC) have
been synthesized by both sol-gel and Green pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) approaches. All
products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning and transmission electron microscopies (SEM and TEM), elemental mappings and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy
(EDX). It was objected to tune the magnetic properties of a soft spinel ferrite material with a softer
one by mixing them with different fractions. Some key findings are as follows. M-H investigations revealed the exhibition of ferrimagnetic phases for all synthesized samples (except ZnFe2O4
)
that were synthesized by sol-gel or PLAL methods at both 300 K and 10 K. ZnFe2O4
ferrite NPs
exhibits almost paramagnetic feature at 300 K and glass-like phase at very low temperatures below 19.23 K. At RT analyses, maximum saturation magnetization (MS) of 66.53 emu/g belongs to
nanocomposite samples that was synthesized by sol-gel method and x:y ratio of 1:3. At 10 K analyses,
MS,max = 118.71 emu/g belongs to same nanocomposite samples with ratio of 1:3. Maximum coercivities are 625 Oe belonging to CNGaGdFO and 3564 Oe belonging to NC sample that was obtained by
sol-gel route having the 3:1 ratio. Squareness ratio (SQRs = Mr/MS) of NC sample (sol-gel, 4:1 ratio)
is 0.371 as maximum and other samples have much lower values until a minimum of 0.121 (laser, 3:1)
assign the multi-domain wall structure for all samples at 300 K. At 10 K data, just CNGaGdFO has
0.495 SQR value assigning single domain nature. The maximum values of effective crystal anisotropy
constant (Keff) are 5.92 × 104 Erg/g and 2.4 × 105 Erg/g belonging to CNGaGdFO at 300 K and 10 K, respectively. Further, this sample has an internal anisotropy field Ha of 1953 Oe as largest at 300 K.
At 10 K another sample (sol-gel, 3:1 ratio) has Ha,max of 11138 Oe which can also be classified as a
soft magnetic material similar to other samples. Briefly, most magnetic parameters of NCs that were
synthesized by sol-gel route are stronger than magnetic parameters of the NCs that were synthesized
by PLAL at both temperatures. Some NC samples were observed to have stronger magnetic data as
compared to magnetic parameters of Co0.5Ni0.5Ga0.01Gd0.01Fe1.98O4 NPs at 10 K.
