I have prepared NixCo(0.5-x)Zn0.5Fe2O4 ferrite by co precipitation technique from stoichiometric equation how can I find the composition for the compound?
At the moment I do not have papers to suggest but I can ask to my collegues of the analytical department that usually perform this kind of measurements.
Thanks Bini for your suggestion. I have gone through in net got the idea NAA
PIXE, OC/EC, XAFS, XRF, CHNO and ICP are some methods of identifying elements. My focussed question which method suits well for compostion analysis like Ni0.1Co0.4Zn0.5Fe2O4
when thinking of your problem I had the idea to use (on re-dissolved material, if this possible) something like chelatometry based ion-chromatography, as outlined e.g. in http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0021967393802557#
But I guess there should be maybe a "kit" around.....
Hope it helps....kind regards

P.S. I am by no means an expert in this field - we recently worked on a related NMR problem (where I am an expert)...
I agree with Werner, EDX is a correct method for composition analysis with as low as 1% of experimental error. Of course, if you have EDD capable for O measurement (old generation EDD detected elements starting from Na).
In the attachment you can have a look of EDX spectrum of a piezoceramic...
You can also try to get the XRF analysis, this technique will provide you the composition (%) of each elements present in your compound. ICPMS analysis will work as well.
