The structural and magnetic properties of deformed powder of Mn obtained by mechanical grinding have been investigated using X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. The small values of ferromagnetic moment of Mn after grinding are attributed to the formation of a deformed phase at the surface of grains with enlargement of the interatomic spacings at the grains boundaries.
