F. Bodker et al., INFLUENCE OF CHEMISORPTION ON THE MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF METALLIC IRON NANOPARTICLES, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 144, 1995, pp. 373-374
Nano-sized alpha-Fe particles on a carbon support have been studied by
Mossbauer spectroscopy. It is found that chemisorption of CO results
in formation of a diamagnetic surface component. The magnetic anisotro
py energy constant is only slightly affected by chemisorption of carbo
n monoxide and hydrogen.
