On the structure–property relationships of (Al, Ga, In)-doped spinel cobalt ferrite compounds: a combined experimental and DFT study

A combined experimental and theoretical study to determine how the replacement of magnetic ions with diamagnetic ones in CoFe 2 O 4 i.e. , CoFe 1.5 X 0.5 O 4 (X = Al, Ga, In) affects the structure, electronic, and magnetic properties.
