SLIDE 9 Crítical size for single-domain particle
- Under size reduction the coercive field increases and the the particle becomes single-
domain
- When EK=KV as V 0 then EK 0 superparamagnetic limit
- At this situation the particle magnetic moment will fluctuate independently of the particle
KV = kBT
SLIDE 10
Classic paramagnet Quantum paramagnet
If K>>> The supermoment follows the Brillouin J=1/2 law If K 0 The supermoment follows the Langevin law
SLIDE 11 Real superparamagnetic system
- No hystheresis
- The isotherm presents a universal H/T behaviour
SLIDE 12
Time effects:relaxation
Due to the stocastic nature of the thermal energy the superparamagnetism is a time dependent effect
τ = τ0 exp(-KV/kBT) τ time for magnetization reversal (depend on
the anisotropy) Si τ <τmeasure superparamagnetism
τ0 tipically 10-9 s
Critical volume to detect superparamagnetism: Vsp=25(kBT/K) τmeasure =100 s TB=KVsp/25kB Vsp=4.5(kBT/K) τmeasure =10-7s TB=KVsp/4.5kB TB Mösbauer = 5.5 TB magnetometry (FC y ZFC) Fe y Co at 300K Vsp=16 y 7.6 nm
