Abstract: In this work, manganese-doped zinc ferrite MnxZn(1-x)Fe2O4 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3) nanoparticles were prepared by the sol-gel method followed by self-ignition. The optical properties were studied with the help of UV-visible spectroscopy. The effect of the manganese incorporated in zinc ferrite on optical properties was investigated. The doping of manganese enhances the bandgap of manganese-doped zinc ferrite from 3.06 to 3.89 eV.
