Abstract
The DC magnetic hysteresis loop measurements were carried out for temperatures varying from 5 to 300 K over a field range of ±10 T on nanocrystalline (∼35 nm) cobalt ferrite samples (crystallized to \(Fd\bar {3} m\) space group with cubic symmetry) to validate the law of approach at low temperature for the nanocrystalline cobalt ferrite. A magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant and saturation magnetization have been obtained by analyzing the magnetization curve in saturation using the “law of approach (LA) to saturation.” The magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant is found to be almost constant in the temperature range of 5 to 150 K due to the freezing of spin at low temperature. Also, spin freezing leads to a decrease of coercivity with the increase in the temperature.
