摘要:
在对三维磁化结构成像的探索中,我们证明磁小角中子散射(SANS)技术对纳米颗粒内部自旋结构的细节高度敏感。通过将SANS与数值微磁计算相结合,我们研究了纳米颗粒中从单畴到多畴行为的转变,及其对后续磁SANS截面的影响。在临界单畴尺寸以上,我们发现截面及相关关联函数无法再用均匀颗粒模型描述,例如会导致与著名的Guinier定律产生偏差。我们识别出剩磁下涡旋状自旋结构出现的明确特征。这种用于磁SANS的微磁方法为未来研究提供了巨大潜力,因为它能为纳米颗粒的介观磁化分布提供基础性见解。
英文摘要:
In the quest to image the three-dimensional magnetization structure we show that the technique of magnetic small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is highly sensitive to the details of the internal spin structure of nanoparticles. By combining SANS with numerical micromagnetic computations we study the transition from single-domain to multi-domain behavior in nanoparticles and its implications for the ensuing magnetic SANS cross section. Above the critical single-domain size we find that the cross section and the related correlation function cannot be described anymore with the uniform particle model, resulting e.g. in deviations from the well-known Guinier law. We identify a clear signature for the occurrence of a vortex-like spin structure at remanence. The micromagnetic approach to magnetic SANS bears great potential for future investigations, since it provides fundamental insights into the mesoscale magnetization profile of nanoparticles.
