Cubic antiferromagnetic nanoparticles of KMnF 3 (see Figure) have been prepared and their synthesis as well as their properties are described in this communication. Small, ordered domains of about 350 nm size were obtained. The narrow size distribution provided by the reverse micelle technique allows the particles to self‐assemble into a well‐ordered array. Work towards bigger ordered areas is currently in progress.
