In this work, copper substituted cobalt ferrite nanoparticles withchemical formula Co1-xCuxFe2O4 (x=0, 0.3, and 0.7), has beensynthesized via hydrothermal preparation method. The structure ofthe prepared materials was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD).The (XRD) patterns showed single phase spinel ferrite structure.Average crystallite size (D), lattice constant (a), and crystal density(dx) have been calculated from the most intense peak (311).Comparative standardization also performed using smaller averageparticle size (D) on the XRD patterns of as-prepared ferrite samplesin order to select most convenient hydrothermal synthesis conditionsto get ferrite materials with smallest average particle size.
