Abstract

The low-temperature magnetic properties of Fe 1− x Cr x nanoparticles with various chromium content ( x=2.4−83.0 at%) have been studied. The multiphase particles (α-FeCr, σ-FeCr and Fe/Cr oxides) have a core (metallic)–shell (oxide) structure. The magnetic properties of the Fe–Cr systems depend on the chromium content as well as on the types and relative contributions of the constituent crystalline phases but, in particular, they are determined by long-range interparticle dipolar interactions. The role of the weakly magnetic σ-FeCr phase is also discussed.
