The manuscript presents structural, optical and magnetic properties of CuFe2O4 nanoparticles obtained employing a simple co-precipitation method in aqueous solution. Influence of ferric chloride concentration on the structural, optical and magnetic properties of CuFe2O4 nanoparticles was investigated. XRD results clearly revealed the spinel tetragonal copper ferrite structures. The observed characteristic Raman E-1g, F-2g and A(1g) phonon mode of vibrations revealed the tetragonal copper ferrite structures. The observed PL results explored inverse spinel copper ferrite emission peaks in the range of visible region. IR result revealed the metal oxygen intrinsic vibrations of octahedral and tetrahedral sites in the spinel copper ferrite structure. SEM analysis clearly revealed the spherical shape morphology particles sizes are in the nano scale range. VSM studies clearly revealed that copper ferrite exhibit weak ferromagnetic behaviour. It was found that the ferric chloride concentration added to copper chloride precursor in the ratio of 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 during the synthesis process played a significant role in structural and magnetic properties of the obtained product.
