MnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles with diameters ranging from about 4 to 50 nm were synthesized using a modified coprecipitation method. X-ray diffractograms revealed a pure phase spinel ferrite structure for all samples. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the particles consist of a mixture of both spherical (smaller) and cubic (larger) particles dictated by the reaction kinetics. The Néel temperatures (TN) of MnFe₂O₄ for various particle sizes were determined by using high temperature magnetometry. The ∽4 nm MnFe₂O₄ particles showed a TN of about 320°C whereas the ∽50 nm particles had a TN of about 400°C. The high Neel temperature, compared with the …

First principles band structure calculations suggest that the preferential occupation of Ni2+ ions on the tetrahedral sites in NiFe₂O₄ would lead to an enhancement of the exchange integral and subsequently the Néel temperature and magnetization. To this end, we have deposited NiFe₂O₄films on MgO substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The substrate temperature was varied from 700 to 900°C at 5 mTorr of O₂ pressure. The films were annealed at 1000°C for different times prior to their characterization. X-ray diffraction spectra showed either (100) or (111) orientation with the spinel structure dependent on the substrate orientation. Magnetic studies showed a magnetization …
