Mesoporous maghemite $\gamma$-Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$ is synthesized by thermal decomposition of iron citrate xerogel. The influences of the precursors’ molar concentration in aqueous solution on the maghemite porosity, its morphology and magnetic structure are investigated. The model of mesoporous $\gamma$-Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$ formation is presented. The results make possible to determine the conditions for fabrication of magnetic nanomaterials (mesoporous $\gamma$-Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$) with predetermined structural and morphological characteristics.
Key words: mesoporous maghemite, $\gamma$-Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$, magnetic nanomaterials, adsorption porometry, Mössbauer spectroscopy.
