Ni{sub 0.5}Zn{sub 0.5}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 4} has been prepared by self combustion method and studied using X-ray diffraction, Moessbauer spectroscopy and DC magnetization techniques. X-ray diffractogram shows highly crystalline nano sized sample with no impurity phases. The room temperature Moessbauer and magnetization measurements show the co-existence of superparamagnetic and ferrimagnetic particles in the sample. The presence of inter particle interaction is confirmed from the {delta}M(H) curve at 20K. The dependence of magnetic moment below blocking temperature in the field cooling curve indicates that the inter particle interaction is weak in the as prepared sample.
