The influence of Fezt ions on the coercivity and induced magnetic anisotropy of acicular cobalt-ferrite particles was studied. When the Coz+ content was constant, the coercivity and induced magnetic anisotropy linearly increased with increasing FSt content of the acicular cobalt-ferrite particles. The activation energy E of these samples was measured and found to be about 0.4 eV. A model of Cop+ and Fe2+ pairs oriented along the magnetic field direction to induce a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy after magnetic annealing is proposed to explain the experimental results.
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.
