AC Susceptibility and EPR Investigations of Superspin Dynamics in Manganese Oxide Nanoparticles
Abstract
We have investigated the superspin dynamics of 5 nm and 10 nm mixed state Mn3O4 nanoparticles utilizing ac-susceptibility and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements. The out of phase component of the ac-susceptibility measurements show a magnetic anomaly below (T < TN) the paramagnetic to ferrimagnetic transition (TN ≅ 41K) of the selected material. EPR spectra show markedly different magnetic signatures which corroborate the particle size dependence as shown in the low-temp ac-susceptibility scans, both of which depict superparamagnetic behavior.
