Nanoparticle Size Effect on Some Magnetic Properties

  • Reference work entry
Handbook of Nanoparticles

Abstract

Nanoparticles exhibit, from a magnetic point of view, various anomalies and specific magnetic properties, different from those of the bulk with the same chemical composition. Knowing the new magnetic properties is very important, both from theoretical point of view and their numerous practical applications in nanotechnology (nanotechnics and, recently, in nanomedicine), which should be considered. In this chapter we shall present an overview on the following topics: saturation magnetization, magnetic anisotropy, and magnetic behavior of magnetic nanoparticles, in relation with their size and magnetic structure, single- or multi-domains. The magnetic properties of the nanoparticles are compared and discussed in relation to those of the corresponding bulk. The surface effects, in the case of surfacted nanoparticles and those embedded in different matrices, on magnetic properties are presented and discussed in the core–shell model (core of the nanoparticle, where the magnetic moments are aligned under the exchange interaction, and the shell, where the magnetic moments are in a disordered structure).
