Co_3O_4纳米颗粒磁性的非平衡效应

Non-equilibrium effects in the magnetic behavior of Co_3O_4 nanoparticles

Vijay Bisht, K. P. Rajeev

摘要:

本文详细研究了反铁磁Co_3O_4纳米粒子的非平衡磁行为。磁化强度的温度和磁场依赖性,磁弛豫(老化)的等待时间依赖性,记忆效应和比热的温度依赖性进行了研究,以了解这些粒子的磁行为。我们发现,该系统显示出纳米颗粒磁性的一些特征,如场冷(FC)和零场冷(ZFC)磁化率的分叉和磁化强度的缓慢弛豫。然而,奇怪的是,ZFC磁化峰值的温度与分叉温度一致,并且在施加高达1 kOe的磁场时不偏移,这与大多数其他纳米颗粒系统不同。在FC和ZFC协议中,这些粒子的老化效应可以忽略不计,并且仅在FC协议中存在记忆效应。我们估计Néel温度通过使用Fisher的关系,以及直接通过测量的比热,从而测试的Fisher的关系的有效性的纳米粒子。我们发现,Co3O4纳米粒子构成了一个独特的反铁磁系统,开发一个磁矩在顺磁状态,因为反铁磁相关,并进入一个阻塞状态以上的Néel温度。

英文摘要:

We report detailed studies on non-equilibrium magnetic behavior of antiferromagnetic Co_3O_4 nanoparticles. Temperature and field dependence of magnetization, wait time dependence of magnetic relaxation (aging), memory effects and temperature dependence of specific heat have been investigated to understand the magnetic behavior of these particles. We find that the system shows some features characteristic of nanoparticle magnetism such as bifurcation of field cooled (FC) and zero field cooled (ZFC) susceptibilities and a slow relaxation of magnetization. However, strangely, the temperature at which the ZFC magnetization peaks coincides with the bifurcation temperature and does not shift on application of magnetic fields up to 1 kOe, unlike most other nanoparticle systems. Aging effects in these particles are negligible in both FC and ZFC protocol and memory effects are present only in FC protocol. We estimate the Néel temperature by using Fisher's relation as well as directly by measurement of specific heat, thus testing the validity of Fisher's relation for nanoparticles. We show that Co3O4 nanoparticles constitute a unique aniferromagnetic system which develops a magnetic moment in the paramagnetic state because of antiferromagnetic correlations and enters into a blocked state above the Néel temperature.
