Two series of nanostructured ZnFe2O4 and MgFe2O4 samples, each of which consists of four nominally identical samples of different nanoparticulate sizes (average), Φ ~ 90 nm, Φ ~ 21 nm, Φ ~ 15 nm, and Φ ~ 9 nm, were synthesized by the mechanochemical route. The thermal- and inversion-parameter-dependent magnetic order and transformation of magnetic ordering for these two series were studied through magnetization experiments over the temperature range from 2 K to 350. For the various nanoparticulate ZnFe2O4 samples varied from Φ ~ 90 nm to Φ ~ 9 nm, the correlation among three different magnetic orders; antiferromagnetic long-range order, ferromagnetic long-range order, and antiferromagnetic short-range order, was explored by polarization analysis of the consequent neutron diffuse scattering over the temperature range from 1.5 K to 295 K...
