Cost-effective and controllable synthesis of M0.25Ni0.15Cu0.25Co0.35Fe2O4 (M2+ = Mg2+, Mn2+, Cd2+) ferrites via the sol–gel auto-combustion technique. The impact divalent cations on structural, dielectric, optoelectrical properties was examined by XRD, FTIR, Raman, LCR, UV–Vis, two probe I-V measurement techniques. crystallite size 52.66 nm, minimum specific surface area observed 5.1507 m2/g fo...
