Vincent1 Superspin Glasses Small magnetic nanoparticle→ single domain magnetism Response of single nanoparticle ~ response of single spin → a ‘superspin’ Varying concentration of nanoparticles in a liquid dispersion changes interparticle interaction To what extent do superspin glasses behave like atomic spin glasses? γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles dispersed in H2O1 Citrate molecules adsorbed onto particle surface to prevent aggregation Mean diameter ~ 8.5 nm Lognormal distribution of particle size (σ ≈ 0.25) Volume fractions (Φ) ranging from 0.01 % →35 % Dipole-dipole interaction energies varying from 1 K to ~ 45 K DC Magnetisation vs. Temperature Measurements Dilute sample shows increase in FC magnetisation below TB→ indicative of superparamagnetic-like behaviour In concentrated sample FC curve is flattened below Tg → characteristic of atomic spin glass behaviour Increase in transition temperature seen in concentrated sample AC Susceptibility vs. Temperature Measurements Thermoremnant Magnetisation (TRM) Conclusions Concentrated dispersion of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles shows many similarities with atomic spin glasses - characteristic M vs T behaviour - memory effects in AC susceptibility - T-shift relaxation behaviour similar to Heisenberg spin-glass Aging is seen in both TRM and ZFC relaxation experiments We propose a new term, –B ln(t/τ0), to account for superparamagnetic relaxation in the superspin glass relaxation curves Scaling of the relaxation curves gives parameters comparable with those found for atomic spin glasses * 1Service de Physique de l’Etat Condensé DSM/DRECAM, CEA-Saclay (CNRS URA 2464) 2Laboratoire des Liquides Ioniques et Interfaces Chargées,Université Pierre et Marie Curie 3Laboratoire des Milieux Désordonnés et Hétérogènes, Université Pierre et Marie Curie Work supp
