Nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) nanoparticles with an average crystallite size of about 20-25 nm were prepared by  dc plasma sputtering system employing closed-field unbalanced magnetron, structural and magnetic properties were investigated by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and magnetization measurements.  Besides that The study demonstrates that one can tailor the magnetic properties of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles by suitably controlling their size by using different gasses mixture.
