Abstract
Nanocrystallites embedded in substrates (granular materials) prepared by ion implantation have many unusual properties in comparison with bu lk materials. Features are found such as high magnetic coercivity, siz e effect of the effective magnetic moment per atom, dependence of the interface magnetic hyperfine field on the Co concentration, nonlinear photoluminescence as well as charge transfer. We show that CEMS and em ission Mossbauer spectroscopy are powerful tools for studying these gr anular systems.
