We have calculated the low-field magnetic susceptibility $chi$ of a system consisting of non-interacting mono-dispersed nanoparticles using a classical statistical approach. The model makes use of the assumption that the axes of symmetry of all nanoparticles are aligned and oriented at a certain angle $psi$ with respect to the external magnetic field. An analytical expression for the temperature dependence of the susceptibility $chi(T)$ above the blocking temperature is obtained. The derived expression is a generalization of the Curie law for the case of anisotropic magnetic particles. We show that the normalized susceptibility is a universal function of the ratio of the temperature over the anisotropy constant for each angle $psi$. In the case that the easy-axis is perpendicular to the magnetic field the susceptibility has a maximum. The temperature of the maximum allows one to determine the anisotropy energy.

In the context of magnetic hyperthermia, several physical parameters are used to optimize the heat generation and these include the nanoparticles concentration and the magnitude and frequency of the external AC magnetic field. Here we extend our previous work by computing nonlinear contributions to the specific absorption rate, while taking into account (weak) inter-particle dipolar interactions and DC magnetic field. In the previous work, the latter were shown to enhance the SAR in some specific geometries and setup. We find that the cubic correction to the AC susceptibility does not modify the qualitative behavior observed earlier but does bring a non negligible quantitative change of specific absorption rate, especially at relatively high AC field intensities. Incidentally, within our approach based on the AC susceptibility, we revisit the physiological empirical criterion on the upper limit of the product of the AC magnetic field intensity $H_{0}$ and its frequency $f$, and provide a physicists rationale for it.
The role of dipolar interactions among Ni nanoparticles (NP) embedded in an amorphous SiO2/C matrix with different concentrations has been studied performing ac magnetic susceptibility Chi_ac measurements. For very diluted samples, with Ni concentrations < 4 wt % Ni or very weak dipolar interactions, the data are well described by the Neel-Arrhenius law. Increasing Ni concentration to values up to 12.8 wt % Ni results in changes in the Neel-Arrhenius behavior, the dipolar interactions become important, and need to be considered to describe the magnetic response of the NPs system. We have found no evidence of a spin-glasslike behavior in our Ni NP systems even when dipolar interactions are clearly present.
Through magnetic linear dichroism spectroscopy, the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes has been extracted and found to be 2-4 times greater than values for semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes. This large anisotropy is consistent with our calculations and can be understood in terms of large orbital paramagnetism of electrons in metallic nanotubes arising from the Aharonov-Bohm-phase-induced gap opening in a parallel field. We also compare our values with previous work for semiconducting nanotubes, which confirm a break from the prediction that the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy increases linearly with the diameter.
The magnetic behavior of truncated conical nanoparticles in patterned thin films is investigated as a function of their size and shape. Using a scaling technique, phase diagrams giving the relative stability of characteristic internal magnetic structures of the particles are obtained. The role of the uniaxial anisotropy in determining the magnetic properties of such systems is discussed, and a simple method for stablishing its strength is proposed.

Homogeneous single phase GdCrO3 nanoparticles are synthesized by a modified-hydrothermal synthesis. The sample shows a compensation temperature at 128 K, below which the DC magnetization becomes negative and positive at low temperatures due to the competition between the two sublattice magnetization. At Neel temperature (168K), the line width and the intensity show an abrupt transition, revealed from electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.
