Abstract

Interparticle interactions in magnetic nanoparticles are studied by dc and ac magnetization measurements. For non-interacting nanoparticles, while the anisotropy constant of the nanoparticles K _eff 1.6 × 10 ⁵ erg/cm ³ is accurately determined by fitting zero-field-cooled and field-cooled measurements, we show that K _eff values deduced only from time relaxation measurements must require simultaneous adjustments of the complex susceptibility by taking into account the size distribution of nanoparticles. This leads to K _eff 1.7 × 10 ⁵ erg/cm ³ in agreement with dc measurements. For interacting nanoparticles, comparisons with theoretical models show that energies due to magnetic dipolar interactions can only be predicted for weak and moderate interactions.
