The method of synthesis plays an important role in governing the properties of spinel ferrite nanoparticles. The most common and advantageous method for preparation of nanoparticles is the sol-gel auto combustion method. In the present work, nickel ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized by optimizing various synthesis parameters using sol-gel auto combustion method. Citric acid was used as a fuel in the synthesis of nickel ferrite nanoparticles. The metal nitrate to fuel ratio was chosen as 1:3. The as prepared powder of nickel ferrite was annealed at 500C for 4 h and characterized by X-ray diffraction technique to study the structural properties. The crystallite size, lattice constant, X-ray density, unit cell volume etc. structural parameters were evaluated and compared with the standard results. All these structural parameters agreed close to the literature values. The crystallite size obtained using Scherrer’s formula shows that the prepared sample possesses nanocrystalline nature
