Abstract:
|
In this paper we report magnetic relaxation data for antiferromagnetic a-Fe2O3 particles of 5-nm mean
diameter in the temperature range 0.1–25 K. The average spin value of these particles S.124 and the uniaxial
anisotropy constant D.1.631022 K have been estimated from the experimental values of the blocking
temperature and anisotropy field. The observed plateau in the magnetic viscosity from 3 K down to 100 mK
agrees with the occurrence of spin tunneling from the ground state SZ5S. However, the scaling M vs T ln(n0t)
is broken below 5 K, suggesting the occurrence of tunneling from excited states below this temperature. |
