We present the synthesis and study of the magnetic properties of similar to 6 nm Co nanoparticles embedded in an antiferromagnetic matrix of Cr2O3. The magnetic measurements have shown the presence of exchange interactions at the ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic interface. This interaction is manifested by the shift of the coercive field measured after field cooling the sample through the Cr2O3 Neel temperature (T-N = 308 K). Moreover, this interaction enhances the anisotropy of the Co nanoparticles making them magnetically stable till room temperature.

Abstract
We present the synthesis and study of the magnetic properties of similar to 6 nm Co nanoparticles embedded in an antiferromagnetic matrix of Cr2O3. The magnetic measurements have shown the presence of exchange interactions at the ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic interface. This interaction is manifested by the shift of the coercive field measured after field cooling the sample through the Cr2O3 Neel temperature (T-N = 308 K). Moreover, this interaction enhances the anisotropy of the Co nanoparticles making them magnetically stable till room temperature.File in questo prodotto:
