Abstract

Ferromagnetic nanocrystals composed of nano-sized grains show excellent soft magnetic characteristics and their mechanism is explained by a random anisotropy model(RAM). We have been studied nanocrystal systems with ferromagnetic 3d elements to understand the RAM. Fe nanocryatals were fabricated with a gas condensation and deposition method(GDM). The oxygen content in an as-deposited Fe nanocryatal was about 20 %. Hysteresis loop shifts observed in magnetic field cool measurements suggest the presence of antiferromagentic oxides. Dependence of room temperature coercive forces on the grain size(D) is not D6 but D3.4. Magnetization curves often seen in thin films with stripe domain structures were observed at room temperature irrespective to the sort of substrates. The presence of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was suggested.
