Abstract
$MnFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles have been prepared by a sol-gel method. The structural and magnetic properties have been investigated by XRD, SEM, and $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectroscopy, VSM. $MnFe_2O_4$ powder that was annealed at $250^{\circ}C$ has spinel structure and behaved superparamagnetically at room temperature. $MnFe_2O_4$ annealed at 400 and $500^{\circ}C$ has a typical spinel structure and is ferrimagnetic in nature. The estimated size of superparammagnetic $MnFe_2O_4$ nanoparticle is around 17 nm. The hyperfine fields of the A and B patterns at 4.2 K were found to be 508 and 475 kOe, respectively. The blocking temperature ($T_B$) of superparammagnetic $MnFe_2O_4$ nanoparticle is about 120 K. The magnetic anisotropy constant and relaxation time constant of $MnFe_2O_4$ nanoparticle were calculated to be $4.9{\times}10^5erg/cm^3$.
