被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We report results of polarized small-angle and wide-angle neutron scattering experiments at = 10 and 300 K for 420 nm-sized hollow FeO spherical particles. Each hollow particle is a mesocrystal, which is composed of small nanoparticles with nearly the same crystallographic orientation. Polarized neutron experiments allow us to evaluate magnetic correlations of parallel and perpendicular magnetization components with respect to magnetic field during magnetization process. Small-angle neutron scattering reveals that as the magnetic field decreases from a saturation field of 10 kOe, the perpendicular magnetization component maximizes around zero applied field, whereas the parallel component minimizes. This behavior was observed below and above Verwey transition temperature of 120 K. Calculations of neutron intensities for vortex structures suggest the reorientation of the vortex core towards the magnetocrystalline anisotropy axis from the magnetic field direction at low applied fields. Moreover, a magnetic domain length obtained from the wide-angle scattering is of the order of 30-40 nm and comparable to the size of the small nanoparticles forming a hollow sphere, suggesting that magnetic correlations within the small nanoparticles always retain during magnetization process.

被引用回数:3 パーセンタイル:45.85(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)We report results of polarized small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments at T = 10 K and 300 K for cubic FeO submicron- sized particles, where formation of a complex spin vortex is expected. Magnetic SANS intensities of magnetization components in the direction perpendicular and parallel to the magnetic field were observed to change significantly at around the coercivity. Magnetization components parallel to the field minimizes around the coercivity both at T = 10 K and 300 K, whereas those perpendicular to the magnetic field maximizes near the coercivity and the maximum value differ greatly, depending on the temperature. Based on results of micromagnetic simulations, the observed SANS intensities were interpreted as due to magnetic structural changes from a flower to a spin vortex state and gradual tilting of a vortex core from the external field to magnetocrystalline anisotropy axes at low fields.
