Abstract
This paper reports on a study of the field and temperature dependences of the parameters of the particle magnetic interaction in a densely packed system of nanocrystals of the highly anisotropic hexagonal ferrite BaFe12O19 with the particles distributed in diameter within the range 10—100 nm and having volumes satisfying the criterion of “small Stoner—Wohlfarth particles.” It is shown that the resultant particle interaction in the temperature range 300 K≤T≤640 K has a negative sign, whereas for T>640 K, it is positive. The maximum values of the parameter Δm allow classification of the interaction as moderate in strength. The temperature dependences of the interaction parameters are found to correlate with manifestation of the size and surface effects in the system, which are characteristic of small particles (transition to the superparamagnetic state, “surface” anisotropy, and reduced exchange interaction in a structurally defective near-surface layer of particles).
