Memory in nanomagnetic systems: Superparamagnetism versus spin-glass behavior

Abstract: The slow dynamics and concomitant memory ͑aging͒ effects seen in nanomagnetic systems are analyzed on the basis of two separate paradigms: superparamagnets and spin glasses. It is argued that in a large class of aging phenomena it suffices to invoke superparamagnetic relaxation of individual single domain particles but with a distribution of their sizes. Cases in which interactions and randomness are important in view of distinctive experimental signatures are also discussed.

“…5,12,32,33 To investigate their influence on the FC memory effect, LSMO nanoparticles have been diluted by mixing them with icing sugar with a 1.3/30.6 mg weight ratio. Then, the second protocol has been employed on the LSMO/icing sugar mixture with different waiting times of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 1, and 2 h at 50 K. The measured magnetization during the different waiting periods is shown in Fig.…”

“…Measurements such as frequency-dependent AC magnetic susceptibility, field cooled (FC) and zero-field cooled (ZFC) magnetization as a function of temperature, and time-dependent magnetization to investigate aging, memory effects, and non-exponential relaxation are used to study the slow dynamical properties of superparamagnetic and spin glass systems. 5,[9][10][11][12][14][15][16] The La 1-x Sr x MnO 3 perovskite manganites are some of the most captivating magnetic materials due to their colossal magnetoresistance, half-metallicity, and magnetocaloric and optical properties. 4,17,18 Among these manganites, La 1-x Sr x MnO 3 with x ¼ 0.33 has the highest Curie temperature of 380 K. 18 Single-domain magnetic nanoparticles with large saturation magnetization and a Curie temperature above room temperature have potential for use in hyperthermia, MRI contrast enhancement, and drug delivery applications.…”

“…Nanoparticles that are dispersed within a matrix can show some very interesting magnetic properties that are related to interactions between the moments on each particle. Competing interactions and changes in particle size can cause a system to show superparamagnetic, super spin glass or super ferromagnetic properties [11,12,13].…”

“…These materials have unique physical properties in spin-based electronics such as size and shape effects [9]. Studies have shown that, depending on the concentration of transition metals, DMSs can be ferromagnetic, superparamagnetic, or a spin-glass state [10][11][12][13].…”
