The Effect of Mechanical Stresses on the Coercive Force of the System of Two-Phase Interacting Nanoparticles

Abstract

Within the framework of the two-phase grain model (by the example of γ-Fe203 cobalt coated particles) a theoretical analysis of the effect of uniaxial mechanical stresses on the magnetization of the system of hetero-phase interacting nanoparticle was held. It is shown that stretching leads to reduction when compression increases the coercive force Hc and doesnt change the residual saturation magnetization Irs of the system of interacting particles. "Smoothing" the hysteresis loop and "lowering" the magnetization curve, the magnetostatic interaction between particles decreases both Hc, and Irs, giving the fact that hysteresis characteristics of an ensemble of interacting nanoparticles change much more in stretching than in compression.
