Abstract

Evidence has recently been given for the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of magnons in nanostructures. This behavior occurs for nanoparticles some tens of nanometers in size (having some millions of atoms in a nanoparticle). Here we explore the effect of particle size on the BEC critical temperature and the blocking temperature. These considerations lead to a proposed phase diagram for magnetic behavior in nanoparticles, with distinct BEC, superparamagnetic, and ferromagnetic phases.
