The as-synthesized single phase nanosized ferrite powder is annealed at different temperatures in the range 673-1,273 K to obtain nanoparticles of different sizes. The powders are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer, transmission electron microscopy and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The as-synthesized powder with average particle size of similar to 9 nm is superparamagnetic. Magnetic transition temperature increases up to 665 K for the nanosized powder as compared to the transition temperature of 548 K for the bulk ferrite. This has been confirmed as due to the abnormal cation distribution, as evidenced from room temperature Mossbauer spectroscopic studies.</p>10aFerrite10amagnetic properties10aMossbauer spectroscopy10aNanoparticles1 aSreeja, V.1 aVijayanand, S.1 aDeka, Sasanka1 aJoy, Pattayil, Alias  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/magnetic-and-mossbauer-spectroscopic-studies-nizn-ferrite-nanoparticles-synthesized-0
