The Zn-Zr co-substituted cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CoZnxZrxFe2-2xO4, x = 0.0-0.4) were synthesized by sol gel auto combustion route. The formation of cubic phase of Co ferrite was revealed from the X-ray diffractograms of the powder samples. The additional alpha-Fe2O3 and ZrO2 phases were occurred for >= 20% Zn-Zr substitution. The lattice parameters obtained by extrapolating Nelson-Riley function shows increase in its values with the Zn-Zr substitution. The particle size shows increasing trend with the Zn-Zr substitution. The cation distribution obtained from the Rietveld refinement of XRD estimate the equal preference of Zn ons preferred tetrahedral A site whereas most of the Zr ions occupy octahedral B site. The decrease in Fe ions with the Zn-Zr substitution resulted in the decrease in coercivity and saturation magnetization of the ferrites. Zero field cooled and field cooled magnetization plots of the ferrites reveals the ferromagnetic behaviour of the prepared ferrite samples. The blocking temperature does not vary significantly with the varying Zn-Zr substitution. The Mossbauer study confirms the weakening of the magnetic linkages between cations at A and B sites, due to the substitution of nonmagnetic Zn-Zr ions for magnetic Fe ions. The decrease in coercivity with moderate saturation magnetization could make this material suitable for electronic devices.
