摘要:

表面自旋的无序在很大程度上决定了超微粒子系统的磁响应。在这项工作中,我们研究了高品质,单分散的空心磁赤铁矿纳米粒子与14.8 $\pm$ 0.5 nm的外径和增强的表面积体积比随时间变化的磁化强度。纳米粒子系综表现出自旋玻璃样签名在直流磁老化和记忆协议和交流磁化率。系统的动力学在50 K附近变慢,并且在20 K以下的实验时间尺度上变得冻结。剩磁曲线表明,发展的磁不可逆性与自旋动力学的冻结。强烈的交换偏置效应及其训练行为指向高度受挫的表面自旋,其重新排列的速度比具有批量协调的内部自旋慢得多。空心粒子的蒙特卡罗模拟再现了实验形态,证实了具有复杂能量景观的强烈无序表面层,这些能量景观是玻璃状动力学和磁不可逆性的基础。计算的磁滞回线显示,磁行为是不相同的内表面和外表面,与自旋在外表面层的15 nm的空心颗粒表现出更高程度的挫折。我们的研究揭示了类似自旋玻璃现象的起源以及表面自旋在磁性空心纳米结构中的作用。

英文摘要:

Disorder among surface spins largely dominates the magnetic response of ultrafine magnetic particle systems. In this work, we examine time-dependent magnetization in high-quality, monodisperse hollow maghemite nanoparticles with a 14.8 $\pm$ 0.5 nm outer diameter and enhanced surface-to-volume ratio. The nanoparticle ensemble exhibits spin-glass-like signatures in dc magnetic aging and memory protocols and ac magnetic susceptibility. The dynamics of the system slows near 50 K, and becomes frozen on experimental time scales below 20 K. Remanence curves indicate the development of magnetic irreversibility concurrent with the freezing of the spin dynamics. A strong exchange-bias effect and its training behavior point to highly frustrated surface spins that rearrange much more slowly than interior spins with bulk coordination. Monte Carlo simulations of a hollow particle reproducing the experimental morphology corroborated strongly disordered surface layers with complex energy landscapes that underlie both glass-like dynamics and magnetic irreversibility. Calculated hysteresis loops reveal that magnetic behavior is not identical at the inner and outer surfaces, with spins at the outer surface layer of the 15 nm hollow particles exhibiting a higher degree of frustration. Our study sheds light on the origin of spin-glass-like phenomena and the role of surface spins in magnetic hollow nanostructures.
