Nano-spinel nickel ferrites doped with Co-Cr at iron and nickel sites are synthesized by the chemical co-precipitation method and are characterized by the XRD, DC electrical resistivity and hysteresis loops measurements. The XRD analyses confirm the formation of single spinet phase and the crystallite size calculated by Scherer's formula is found in the range of 17-19 nm. This crystallite size is small enough to obtain the suitable signal to noise ratio in the high density recording media. The values of electrical resistivity (8.28 x 10(7) to 29.6 x 10(7) ohm cm), activation energy (0.545-0.884 eV), saturation magnetization (23.67-33.49 emu g(-1)) and remanence (12.48-18.67 emu g(-1)) are increased up to a doping level of x = 0.2 and then starts to decrease. The increase in electrical resistivity, saturation magnetization and remanence suggest that the material with composition Co0.2Ni0.8Fe1.8O4 can be used for applications in microwave devices and high density recording media.
