Nanoparticles of spinel-type oxides such as ferrites offer great advantages and applications in many important areas. Decreasing the size of the particles to nanometer size will increase the surface-to-volume ratio and this will strongly influence the physical and chemical properties of these materials. For magnetic nanoparticles, the exchange interactions at the surface of a particle will be different from those inside due to changes in the coordination behavior at the surface. Therefore, studying and understanding the coordination and distribution behavior of the different metal ions in the nanoparticles of spinel-type oxides is very important. Solid state NMR is a useful and important technique to obtain information on local structural variations. The degree of the distribution of the Al3+ ions in the tetrahedral and octahedral sites in the nanoparticles of the nonmagnetic spinel MgAl2O4 having different particle sizes has been determined by 27Al magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. It has been...
