teresis loop compared to that observed for particles in powder form.In this communication, synthesis of 10.7 nm ferrite nanocrystals doped with 3.5 % in mass of cobalt ions is described. Organization of nanoparticles is controlled by the method of deposition on a substrate. In an applied magnetic field, deposition leads to formation of well-aligned nanoparticles on a very large scale forming a flat surface. In the absence of an applied field, the particles self-arrange on the substrate by forming large spheres with a large coverage. Magnetic properties of nanocrystals differing by their organizations are presented: when particles are aligned, the hysteresis loop is straightened and the magnetic parameters such as remanence and coercivity notably increase. These changes in the magnetic properties are related to the demagnetizing factor and to the orientation of the magnetic moments of the particles along one of the easy magnetization axes.
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.
