Abstract: In the present research cadmium ferrite was prepared by standard ceramic method and characterized by XRD and SEM techniques. The X-ray analysis confirms the formation of single phase cubic spinel structure. The crystallite size calculations using XRD Scherer’s formula confirms that crystallite size of the cadmium ferrite nanoparticles was 23.1 and 34.75 nm at a sintering temperatures of 800 and 1000°C, respectively. The crystallite size of the samples increases with increase in sintering temperature. From the micrograph we can observe the formation of soft agglomerates with irregular morphology constituted the quite fine particles. Since, the ceramic method involves sintering of the stoichiometric mixtures at high temperatures.
