A STUDY ON THE MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF SURFACE OXIDE LAYERS OF ULTRAFINE IRON PARTICLES

Abstract
The dependence of σs of ultrafine iron particles on their average diameter d is measured. It is found that the smaller the particles, the smaller their σs. The variation of σ with temperature, σ(T), which is irreversible, is also measured both in temperature rising and dropping processes. The experimental results can be explained by spin pinning in the oxide layers.
