The study of structural phase stability, morphological and magnetic properties of orthorhombic spinel (MgZn

)
synthesized through citrate-gel auto combustion method has been taken away. The samples were characterized
by using XRD, SEM and energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX) and magnetic susceptibility. These spinel compounds
have been synthesized for the first time to the best of our knowledge. XRD studies confirm the single phase
orthorhombic spinel structure of the sample. The crystallite size was found to be of 64.76 nm by Debye Scherrer
formula of MgZn

spinel compounds. The values of lattice parameters

have been calculated
by powder-X software. The compositional formation was confirmed by EDAX. SEM micrograph shows spher-
ical shape with nano-crystalline behaviour. The Magnetic susceptibility graph shows the superparamagnetic
behaviour of the compound.
