By means of Mossbauer spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measure
ments we have studied the superparamagnetic relaxation of ultrafine ma
ghemite particles. The behaviour of oleic acid coated and uncoated par
ticles is compared. The effects of pressing the samples are also inves
tigated. The observed differences are ascribed to the difference in th
e strength of the magnetic interaction between the particles in the sa
mples.
