The crystalline nanoparticles of ferrite were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation with precursor concentration of M, then modified by M solution of oleic acid in 1-pentanol and finally heated at low temperatures 120, 140, 160 and 180 oC for 6 h in autoclave. The effect of heating temperature on crystallite size and magnetic properties of ferrite was studied. The analysis of XRD, EDS and TEM data of samples confirmed that all of samples heated at these temperatures are crystalline with particle size of 6, , 7 and 8 nm, respectively. With the particles size below 10 nm, the nanoparticles of ferrite demonstrated the superparamagnetic properties, and could be applied effectively in various fields: medicine, treatment, military etc. The magnetic properties of ferrite measured by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) showed that the coercive force Hc and the remanence Mr of samples are about zero while the saturation magnetization Ms has values of , , and emu/g, consequently. Keywords: crystalline nanoparticles, superparamagnetism (SPM). ferrite, magnetic properties, Classification number: ; . 1. INTRODUCTION The superparamagnetic nanoparticles of Zn-Ni-Fe ferrite system are used currently for special applications such as target-directed .
