The particle size effects on charge and spin correlation were studied for Pr{sub 0.67}Ca{sub 0.33}MnO{sub 3}(PCMO) by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopy. Magnetization measurements suggests long range charge/orbital ordering (CO/OO) in bulk Pr{sub 0.67}Ca{sub 0.33}MnO{sub 3} at T ∼230 K and antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering at T∼140K. With the reduction of particle size, CO is suppressed, AFM ordering gives way to ferromagnetic (FM) ordering. We find that with the reduction of particle size in Pr{sub 0.67}Ca{sub 0.33}MnO{sub 3} nanoparticles, the short range correlation in charge and associated spin degrees of freedom also gets suppressed.
