In this work, Fe3O4 nanoparticles with two distinct diameters of 10 and 2nm are synthesized with different chemical methods in order to investigate the critical size effects on the magnetic resonance of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Our results clearly demonstrate a difference in the dynamic behaviors of resonance field (Hr) and resonance linewidth between these two nanoparticles. Furthermore, the nonlinear temperature dependency of Hr in 2-nm Fe3O4 suggests that the surface anisotropy becomes dominating on the magnetodynamics of nanoparticles when the diameter of the nanoparticle is smaller than the critical size.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
