The variations in the structural magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite due to Ti4+/Co2+ co-substitution for 2Fe3+ are presented. The non-linear relation in the variation of the lattice parameter agrees with a previous study on cation distribution, which showed that the rate of substitution of cations into the A-sites and B-sites varies with Ti-concentration. Such variation in the rate of substitution into the cation sites was also observed in the magnetization, coercive field, and susceptibility data. The coercive field and differential susceptibility are inversely related. Although the coercive field of the Ti-substituted cobalt ferrite generally decreased compared to the un-substituted cobalt ferrite, magnetic susceptibility was higher at higher Ti-concentrations.
