Remanent magnetization in CoO antiferromagnetic nanoparticles

Remanent magnetization in CoO antiferromagnetic nanoparticles

We report a study on the remanent magnetization Mr induced by field cooling across the ordering temperature TN in antiferromagnetic CoO nanoparticles with different sizes. The nanoparticles are composed by a structurally and magnetically ordered core and a structurally ordered and magnetically disordered shell with a thickness of about 2 nm. The ordered core has cell parameters, moments directi...

Thermoinduced magnetization in nanoparticles of antiferromagnetic materials.

We show that there is a thermoinduced contribution to the magnetic moment of nanoparticles of antiferromagnetic materials. It arises from thermal excitations of the uniform spin-precession mode, and it has the unusual property that its magnitude increases with increasing temperature. This has the consequence that antiferromagnetism is nonexistent in nanoparticles at finite temperatures and it e...

Physical Justification for Negative Remanent Magnetization in Homogeneous Nanoparticles

The phenomenon of negative remanent magnetization (NRM) has been observed experimentally in a number of heterogeneous magnetic systems and has been considered anomalous. The existence of NRM in homogenous magnetic materials is still in debate, mainly due to the lack of compelling support from experimental data and a convincing theoretical explanation for its thermodynamic validation. Here we re...

Remanent magnetization of fine particles

2014 A brief review is given of some calculations of the remanent magnetization of fine particles. The remanence after previous saturation has been calculated for a number of different types of anisotropy. A discussion is also given of remanence curves attained after application of D. C. or A. C. fields, and relations between such curves are pointed out. LE JOURNAL DE PIIYSIQUE ET LE RADIUM TOM...
