Abstract

Magnetic characterization of maghemite nanoparticles dispersed in a polymeric template and treated under different chemical processes is reported in this work. Particle size estimated from magnetic measurements, DM ≈ 10 nm, for the free-surfactant sample, is consistent with values determined from XRD analysis and TEM images. The magnetic collapse of sextets towards a quadrupole doublet as the temperature is increased reveals the thermal relaxation of smaller ψ-Fe203 nanoparticles. Magnetic measurements show a strong irreversibility between ZFC and FC curves suggesting the occurrence of particle-particle interaction.
