Abstract Despite the advances in the methods for fabricating nanoscale materials, critical issues remain, such as the difficulties encountered in anchoring, and the deterioration in their stability after integration with other components. These issues need to be addressed to further increase the scope of their applicability. In this study, using epitaxial mesoscopic host matrices, materials are spatially confined at the nanoscale, and are supported, anchored, and stabilized. They also exhibit properties distinct from the bulk counterparts proving their high quality nanoscale nature. ZnFe ₂ O ₄ and SrTiO ₃ are used as the model confined material and host matrix, respectively. The ZnFe ₂ O ₄ phases are spatially confined by the SrTiO ₃ mesoscopic matrix and have strongly enhanced ferrimagnetic properties as compared to bulk and plain thin films of ZnFe ₂ O ₄ , with a Curie temperature of ≈500 K. The results of a series of control experiments and characterization measurements indicate that cationic inversion, which originates from the high interface‐to‐volume ratio of the ZnFe ₂ O ₄ phase in the ZnFe ₂ O ₄ –SrTiO ₃ nanocomposite film, is responsible for the magnetization enhancement. An exchange bias is observed, owing to the coexistence of ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic regions in the confined ZnFe ₂ O ₄ phase. The magnetic properties are dependent on the ZnFe ₂ O ₄ crystallite size, which can be controlled by the growth conditions.
