Abstract

In this work, we report on the endotaxial growth of α-Fe nanoparticles in the near-surface layer under high-fluence iron ion implantation of the single-crystal magnesium oxide substrate. Comprehensive Mössbauer effect and magnetometry studies show that the implanted sample reveals a pronounced ferromagnetic response even at room temperature, and the α-Fe nanoparticles serve as its main source. The broad band at ~1000 Oe in the X-band magnetic resonance spectra originates from the α-Fe fraction. It manifests the properties of the easy-plane system with the four-fold in-plane anisotropy. The last indicates that the α-Fe nanoparticles are coherently incorporated into the host MgO matrix.
