Abstract
Nanoparticles of NiMn2O4 were successfully obtained by mixing gelatin
and inorganic salts NiCl2 center dot 6H(2)O and MnCl2 center dot 4H(2)O
in aqueous solution. The mixture has been synthesized at different
temperatures and resulted in NiMn2O4 nanoparticles with crystallites
size in the range of 14-44 nm, as inferred from X-ray powder diffraction
(XRPD) data. We have also observed that both the average crystallite
size and the unit cell parameters increase with increasing synthesis
temperature. Magnetic measurements confirmed the presence of a magnetic
transition near 110K. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier B.V.
