ZnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles have been prepared by sol‐gel methods. Mössbauer spectra from 4.2 K to RT showed their magnetic ordering took place at much higher temperature than that of bulk zinc ferrite. Mössbauer measurements that cover the temperature range 4.2 K to room temperature were acquired in zero field and an applied magnetic field of 5 T. The large increase of T N for nanoparticles can be attributed mainly to the redistribution of Fe and Zn cations on the A and B sites. Nanoparticles with smaller size have bigger θ YK (Yaffet–Kittel angle). (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
