Temperature-dependent magnetic properties and spin echo decay behavior have been studied for an ensemble of La1-xSrxMnO3 (x=0.23) nanoparticles (of 30 nm in diameter) synthesized by the sol-gel method. Characteristic magnetic parameters, such as blocking temperature and effective Curie temperature for the ensemble, are determined. Enhanced coercivity and its unusual temperature dependence compared to bulk counterparts are revealed, and possible reasons for this phenomenon are discussed. A conclusion about the non-negligible role of interparticle interactions in the enhancement of the coercivity in the ensembles of substituted manganites is made.
