Abstract
Binary nanoparticles, composed of both rare-earth elements with substantial magnetic properties and transition metals known for their high magnetic ordering temperatures, hold great promise as innovative materials for novel magnetic applications. In this study, we employ an atomistic spin dynamics framework to investigate how the magnetic properties change at finite temperatures in mixed NiGd nanoparticles. We specifically examine parameters such as saturation magnetization and spin-reorientation in relation to the nanoparticle's size, which ranges from 4 nm to 16 nm, and composition. Our findings reveal that Ni75Gd25 nanoparticles demonstrate exceptional magnetic properties at finite temperatures, marked by significantly increased saturation magnetizations and magnetic ordering temperatures. In contrast, nanoparticles containing 50% and 75% Gd contents exhibit notably reduced saturation magnetizations and magnetic ordering temperatures. Theoretical findings of our study shed light on the pivotal role that the Gd content plays in determining the magnetic behaviour at finite temperatures.
