P. Toneguzzo et al., Static and dynamic magnetic properties of fine CoNi and FeCoNi particles synthesized by the polyol process, IEEE MAGNET, 35(5), 1999, pp. 3469-3471
Fine CoNi and FeCoNi particles elaborated by the polyol process over a wide
size range display a core shell texture. From the study of the coercivity
and remanence against the particle size, the critical size below which the
CoNi particles are single domains is estimated in the 20-40 nm range. The c
omparison between static and dynamic properties shows that exchange resonan
ce modes are observed for non single domain particles. Anisotropy constants
are found to increase as the particle size decreases and as the Co content
increases.
