All the composition were prepared by conventional solid state synthesis method and exhibited pure spinel phase formation. The lattice parameters showed gradual increase indicating uniform distribution Zn ions in cobalt ferrite lattice. The magnetic properties such as saturation magnetization and coercive field were drastically affected with Zn substitution showing enhanced saturation magnetization and a sharp decrease in the coercivity. The room temperature magnetostrictive properties showed a promising 30% enhancement in the slope of magnetostriction curve for x = 0.2 composition and a reasonable magnetostrictive strain of 110 ppm indicating its suitability as a promising magnetostrictive material.
