Abstract

The magnetization of the porous glass nanocomposite with CuO nanoparticles embedded in the pores has been studied in the temperature range from 1.8 to 350 K for different pore fillings. It has been shown that the magnetic properties of these nanocomposites depend significantly on pore filling. It has been found that, in the low-temperature range for the nanocomposite with a pore filling of 55% and for pressed CuO, the ZFC and FC susceptibilities diverge, a feature which has been almost absent in the nanocomposite with 21% filling. It has been demonstrated that the kink in the temperature dependence of magnetization, which corresponds to the paramagnetic-multiferroic phase transition, does not shift in the sample with a larger pore filling as compared to that observed in the bulk sample.
