Magnetic Study of the Fe Coated by Au Nanoparticles

Nanosized iron-gold magnetic nanoparticles with an average particle size 10 nm were prepared by a reverse micelle method. The magnetic properties measurements of DC and AC magnetization confirm behaviour typical of a superparamagnetic system, such as the irreversibility of the zero-field-cooled and field-cooled curves, the frequency dependence of a blocking temperature $T_B$, and revealing of coercivity H_C below blocking temperature. The quantitative analysis of AC susceptibility due to value of parameter $C_1$ = Δ$T_B$/($T_B$ Δ log f)=0.0242 confirming the existence of inter-particle interaction in our system.
