Nanocrystalline NiNd{sub 0.01}Fe{sub 1.99}O{sub 4} has been synthesized by oxalate co-precipitation method and was characterized by X-ray diffraction technique. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the formation of single phase cubic spinel structure. Crystallite size of the ferrite lies in the nano-particle range. The gas sensing properties of nanocrystalline ferrite were studied for gases like Cl{sub 2}, LPG and C{sub 2}H{sub 5}OH. It was observed that NiNd{sub 0.01}Fe{sub 1.99}O{sub 4} is more sensitive towards chlorine followed by LPG at an operating temperature 277 °C compared to ethanol.
