We report magnetic behaviour of MnCr2O4, which belongs to a special class of spinel, known as chromite. Bulk MnCr2O4 shows a sequence of magnetic states, which follows paramagnetic (PM) to collinear ferrimagnetic (FM) state below TC ∼ 45 K and collinear FM state to non-collinear FM state below TS ∼ 18 K. The non-collinear spin structure has been modified on decreasing the particle size, and magnetic transition at TS decreases in nanoparticle samples. However, ferrimagnetic order is still dominating in nanoparticles, except the observation of superparamagnetic like blocking and decrease of spontaneous magnetization for nanoparticle. This may, according to the core-shell model of ferrimagnetic nanoparticle, be the surface disorder effect of nanoparticle. The system also show the increase of TC in nanoparticle samples, which is not consistent with the core-shell model. The analysis of the M(T) data, applying spin wave theory, has shown an unusual Bloch exponent value 3.35 for bulk MnCr2O4, which decreases and approaches to 1.5, a typical value for any standard ferromagnet, with decreasing the particle size. MnCr2O4 has shown a few more unusual behaviour. For example, lattice expansion in nanoparticle samples. The present work demonstrates the correlation between a systematic increase of lattice parameter and the gradual decrease of B site non-collinear spin structure in the light of magnetism of MnCr2O4 nanoparticles.
