Abstract
Abstract Well-dispersed uniform cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal decomposition of a metal–organic salt in organic solvent with a high boiling point, and characterized by XRD, TEM and detailed magnetic measurements. The moments of CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles consist of the core and canted surface moments below 200 K, and the exchange-coupling between the surface and core spins enhanced the remanence ( M r ) to saturation ( M s ) magnetization ratio ( M r / M s ) at the temperature of 10 K. Interestingly, the anomalous memory effect was observed in a broad temperature range which can be attributed to the relaxation of surface spins below 200 K and the one from the moments of magnetically ordered entity larger than one particle above 200 K.
