Mossbauer spectra of hematite and magnetite nanoparticles in polymer composites

摘要

It is experimentally demonstrated that the shape of Mossbauer spectra of polymer composites based on single-domain magnetic particles depends more on an inter-particle interaction than on superparamagnetic properties of a separate particle. The characteristic features of the spectra of such systems with strong inter-particle interactions are separated, such as an asymmetric shape of lines with sharp outer and smeared inward sides and presence of central anomalously splitted doublet. It is shown that the three-level relaxation model, which takes into account the precession and diffusion of magnetization of single-domain particles between two local energy minima and one absolute energy maximum, allows to describe all characteristic features of the spectra of such systems.
