Abstract: Polycrystalline NixCr1-xFe2O4 (x = 0.1–0.9) nanoferrites were synthesised via the sol – gel method. The XRD and Rietveld refinement confirmed a stable single-phase cubic spinel structure. FTIR and Raman spectroscopy further validated the spinel phase and revealed local structural distortions associated with cation redistribution. Magnetic measurements demonstrated that size reduction and cation substitution strongly influence spin interactions, leading to tunable transitions between ferromagnetic and superparamagnetic regimes. The intermediate composition Cr0.7Ni0.3Fe2O4 exhibited pronounced low-temperature ferromagnetism, while showing superparamagnetic-like behaviour near room temperature an attribute useful for temperature-responsive magnetic devices. Optical analysis using UV – Vis spectroscopy showed strong UV absorption and adjustable band gaps (1.57–1.66 eV), governed by particle size and cation arrangement. Overall, the study establishes clear structure – property relationships in Ni – Cr ferrite nanoparticles, demonstrating how controlled substitution and nanostructuring can be used to engineer materials tailored for magnetic storage, spintronic technologies, and photocatalytic systems.
