Abstract

The magnetic properties of samples of nanoporous carbon with palladium clusters prepared from polycrystalline SiC have been studied over a wide range of temperatures. The specific magnetic moment rapidly decreases with increasing temperature. The obtained experimental magnetization curves have a nonlinear character but do not reach saturation even in a field of 10 kOe. Being constructed as functions of H/T, they lie on a universal curve, which suggests superparamagnetism of the system. The experimental curves have a hysteresis. The coercive force, first, decreases with increasing temperature and, then (in the range of 5–20 K), increases, thus forming a notch singularity. On the contrary, the residual magnetization rapidly decreases with increasing temperature. A conclusion on the prevailing contribution of superparamagnetic clusters to the magnetic subsystem is made.
