Abstract

The magnetic properties of ultra-small (∼2 nm) δ-(Fe0.67Mn0.33)OOH nanoparticles prepared by a microemulsion technique have been investigated by magnetization and ac susceptibility measurements at variable frequency. The results provide evidence of two different magnetic regimes whose onset is identified by two maxima in the zero-field-cooled susceptibility: a large one, centered at ∼150 K (Tmh), and a narrow one at ∼30 K (Tml). The two temperatures exhibit a different frequency dependence: Tmh follows a Vogel–Fulcher law τ = τ0 exp[(Ea/kB)/(T − T0)], indicating a blocking of weakly interacting nanoparticle moments, whereas Tml follows a power law τ = τ0(Tg/Tmν − Tg)α, suggesting a collective freezing of nanoparticle moments (superspin-glass state). This picture is coherent with the field dependence of Tml and Tmh and with the temperature dependence of the coercivity, strongly increasing below 30 K.
