Anomalous Particle Size Dependence of Magnetic Relaxation Phenomena in Goethite Nanoparticles
نویسندگان
چکیده
By use of Mössbauer spectroscopy we have studied the magnetic properties of samples of goethite nanoparticles with different particle size. The spectra are influenced by fluctuations of the magnetization directions, but the size dependence is not in accordance with the Néel-Brown expression for superparamagnetic relaxation of the magnetization vectors of the particles as a whole. The data suggest that the magnetic fluctuations can be explained by fluctuations of the magnetization directions of small interacting grains within the particles.

Magnetic interactions between nanoparticles
We present a short overview of the influence of inter-particle interactions on the properties of magnetic nanoparticles. Strong magnetic dipole interactions between ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic particles, that would be superparamagnetic if isolated, can result in a collective state of nanoparticles. This collective state has many similarities to spin-glasses. In samples of aggregated magnetic...
متن کاملEffect of Goethite Coating on the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Relaxation Signal in Sand
Nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation is a fast and well-known method to get a measure of pore size distributions. To obtain reliable results, one needs to get information about influences like internal gradients evoked by paramagnetic impurities on the NMR relaxation signal. Therefore, we did a series of longitudinal and transverse relaxation experiments of samples with variable paramagnetic c...

متن کاملNMR and spin relaxation in systems with magnetic nanoparticles: effects of size and molecular motion.
To better understand the specifics of nuclear magnetic resonance and spin relaxation in systems with magnetic nanoparticles and test the limits of the outer sphere model for the diffusion-related relaxation, iron oxide nanoparticle suspensions are studied in dependence on the particle concentration and size (5-40 nm). The model is modified to account for aggregation of the particles into cluste...
متن کاملReduction of crystalline iron(III) oxyhydroxides using hydroquinone: Influence of phase and particle size
Iron oxides and oxyhydroxides are common and important materials in the environment, and they strongly impact the biogeochemical cycle of iron and other species at the Earth’s surface. These materials commonly occur as nanoparticles in the 3–10 nm size range. This paper presents quantitative results demonstrating that iron oxide reactivity is particle size dependent. The rate and extent of the ...
