Quantum size effects on magnetism in Eu2MnHfO6 nanoparticles: Role of surface-to-volume ratio, magnetic blocking, and magnetic phase transitions

In this paper, we investigate the quantum size effects on Eu2MnHfO6 (EMHO) nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized via sol–gel and annealed at 500, 800, and 1000 °C. XRD confirmed a cubic Fd3̅m structure across all samples, with NP sizes increasing from 7.4  nm to 23.8  nm. Smaller NPs displayed features of...
