Magnetization Reversal in (CsNiCrIII)-Cr-II(CN)(6) Coordination Nanoparticles: Unravelling Surface Anisotropy and Dipolar Interaction Effects

摘要

CsNiCr(CN)(6) coordination nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 6 to 30 nm are highly diluted in an organic polymer matrix. Their static and dynamic magnetic behaviour allows unravelling of surface anisotropy and interparticle dipolar interaction effects. The single magnetic domain critical size is thus evaluated to be around 22 nm with a blocking temperature of 21 K (at nu = 1 Hz) and an effective energy barrier for the reversal of the magnetization of 426 K.
