We compare magnetovolume effects in bulk and nanoparticles by performing Monte Carlo simulations of a spin-analogous model with coupled spatial and magnetic degrees of freedom and chemical disorder. We find that correlations between surface and bulk atoms lead with decreasing particle size to a substantial modification of the magnetic and elastic behavior at low temperatures.
