Abstract
The magnetic properties of nonstoichiometric cobalt ferrite nanocrystals differing by their sizes were investigated by magnetic measurements and Fe57 Mössbauer spectroscopy. We found that the spin-wave Bloch exponent increases with increasing particle size, in agreement with previous studies. Under a magnetic field of 7 T, we observed that the partial reorientation of the two ferrimagnetic Fe3+ sublattice magnetizations towards the field direction increases with increasing the particle size; we discuss the applicability of an intrinsic spin canting model as a function of the particle size. An evaluation of the relative amounts of cobalt and iron in each spinel site is given.
