In this work, we study the effect of dipole-dipole interparticle interactions on the static thermodynamic and magnetic properties of an ensemble of immobilized monodisperse superparamagnetic nanoparticles. We assume that magnetic nanoparticles are embedded in the nodes of a regular cubic lattice, so that the particle translational degrees of freedom are turned off. The relaxation of the magnetic moments of the nanoparticles occurs by the Neel mechanism. The easy axes are aligned (i) parallel or (ii) perpendicular to the direction of an external field. These models are investigated using theory and computer simulation, taking microscopic discrete structure explicitly into account. The analytical expressions of the Helmholtz free energy, the static magnetization, and the initial magnetic susceptibility are derived for both configurations (i) and (ii) as functions of the height of the magnetic crystallographic anisotropy energy barrier, measured by parameter $sigma$, and the intensity of the dipole-dipole interparticle interactions measured by $lambda_e$. A good agreement between the theory and the results of MC simulations in the region of low and moderate values of $lambda_e$ and $sigma$ is obtained. For high values of $lambda_e$ and $sigma$, the structuring of magnetic moments in regularly orientated structures was found from MC simulations for configuration (i).

When decreasing the size of nanoscale magnetic particles their magnetization becomes vulnerable to thermal fluctuations as approaching the superparamgnetic limit, hindering thus applications relying on a stable magnetization. Here, we show theoretica lly that a magnetoelectric coupling to a ferroelectric substrate renders possible the realization of substantially smaller nano clusters with thermally stable magnetization. For an estimate of cluster size we perform calculations with realistic material parameters for iron nano particles on ferroelectric BaTiO3 substrate. We find, steering the polarization of BaTiO3 with electric fields affects the magnetism of the deposited magnetic clusters. These findings point to a qualitatively new class of superparamagnetic composites.

We present X-ray diffraction (XRD), Mossbauer spectroscopy (MS) and d.c. magnetization measurements performed on ball-milled CuFe2O4 samples. The average particle size <d> was found to decrease to the nanometer range after t=15 min of milling. Room t emperature Mossbauer data showed that the fraction of particles above the blocking temperature TB increases with milling time, and almost complete superparamagnetic samples are obtained for <d> = 7(2) nm. Magnetization measurements below TB suggest spin canting in milled samples. The values of saturation moment mu_S reveal that site populations are slightly affected by milling. Mossbauer resonant intensities are accounted for on the basis of local disorder of Fe3+ environments, and the development of sample inhomogeneities of CuxFe3-xO4 composition.
Computational and experimental results on the thermally-induced magnetization reversal in single-domain magnetic nanoparticles are reported. The simulations are based on the direct integration of the Fokker-Planck equation that governs the dynamics o f the magnetic moment associated with the nanoparticles. A mean field approximation is used to account for the influence of the dipolar interaction between nanoparticles. It is shown that the interactions can either speed up or slow down the reversal process, depending on the angle between the external magnetic field and the axis of easy magnetization. The numerical results are in good agreement with experimental measurements on cobalt-platinum nanoparticles.
To study the magnetic dynamics of superparamagnetic nanoparticles we use scanning probe relaxometry and dephasing of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond, characterizing the spin-noise of a single 10-nm magnetite particle. Additionally, we sho w the anisotropy of the NV sensitivitys dependence on the applied decoherence measurement method. By comparing the change in relaxation (T 1 ) and dephasing (T 2 ) time in the NV center when scanning a nanoparticle over it, we are able to extract the nanoparticles diameter and distance from the NV center using an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model for the nanoparticles fluctuations. This scanning-probe technique can be used in the future to characterize different spin label substitutes for both medical applications and basic magnetic nanoparticle behavior.
We report on the magnetic and hyperthermia properties of iron nanoparticles synthesized by organometallic chemistry. They are 5.5 nm in diameter and display a saturation magnetization close to the bulk one. Magnetic properties are dominated by the co ntribution of aggregates of nanoparticles with respect to individual isolated nanoparticles. Alternative susceptibility measurements are been performed on a low interacting system obtained after eliminating the aggregates by centrifugation. A quantitative analysis using the Gittleman s model allow a determination of the effective anisotropy Keff = 1.3 * 10^5 J.m^{-3}, more than two times the magnetocristalline value of bulk iron. Hyperthermia measurements are performed on agglomerates of nanoparticles at a magnetic field up to 66 mT and at frequencies in the range 5-300 kHz. Maximum measured SAR is 280 W/g at 300 kHz and 66 mT. Specific absorption rate (SAR) displays a square dependence with the magnetic field below 30 mT but deviates from this power law at higher value. SAR is linear with the applied frequency for mu_0H=19 mT. The deviations from the linear response theory are discussed. A refined estimation of the optimal size of iron nanoparticles for hyperthermia applications is provided using the determined effective anisotropy value.
