Origin of Elevated Ordering Temperature in MnFe2O4 Nanometer Particles

Abstract
Mössbauer spectra of MnFe2O4 with various particle sizes in a longitudinal 50 kOe magnetic field show that the Fe ion occupancy of the A and B crystallographic sites depends on the particle size. The elevated Néel temperatures with decreasing particle sizes are attributed to an increased iron occupancy on the A sites ; this in turn leads to an increase in the total superexchange interaction.
