Abstract: We present the data of studies on the structure, phase states, and magnetic properties of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) of magnesium ferrite spinel (MgFe2O4), synthesized by ultrasonic aerosols pyrolysis. Primary single-phase MNPs with an average size of 9.6, 11.5, and 14.0 nm, synthesized from precursors at concentrations of 0.06, 0.12, and 0.24 M, respectively, agglomerate into tightly aggregated spherical particles (secondary particles) with sizes of 206, 300, and 340 nm, respectively. Primary particles inside the spheres do not interact with each other and are in a superparamagnetic state. There is a layer on the surface of the particles, the magnetic structure of which differs from the structure of the inner part of the MNP; this is explained by the formation of a canted spin structure or a spin glass state in the surface layer of the MNPs. MgFe2O4 nanospheres obtained from a precursor at a concentration of 0.06 M are most promising as valid sources of heat in magnetic hyperthermia therapy.
