In this paper we report results of structural, spectroscopic, and magnetic investigations of nanoparticles prepared by soft mechanochemical synthesis. nanoparticles crystallize in space group with mixed cation distribution and reduced percentage of at tetrahedral (8a) sites. Discrepancy in the cation distribution compared to that in the bulk Mg–ferrite is one of the highest known. X-ray line broadening analysis reveals crystallite size and strain anisotropy. The saturation magnetization, measured at 5 K is twice higher than that found in the bulk counterparts. Such high value of is attributed to the low value of cation inversion parameter , to the core/shell structure of the nanoparticles and to the surface/volume ratio. Mössbauer spectrum collected at room temperature reveals ferrimagnetic ordering between ions in and sites, while zero-field-cooled (ZFC) and field-cooled (FC) M(T) measurements were shown superparamagnetic state above 350 K.
