Abstract

Monte Carlo simulations are used to investigate the main effects related to the hysteresis loops of magnetite and maghemite spinel nanoparticles. In particular, the influence of the finite size of the nanoparticles, the measurement temperature, the roughness of the surface, and the anisotropy are examined. The classical spin model with Heisenberg-type interactions was used with the dominant term of super-exchange interaction in spinel structure. The simulated hysteresis loops are carried out on nanoparticles with perfect or disordered surface and dilution of octahedral sublattice. The simulated hysteresis loops change significantly due to the competition between magnetic anisotropy mainly at the surface of the nanoparticle and the presence of super-exchange interaction. We show the existence of a net magnetization at the surface which is at the origin for the variation of the hysteresis loops shape.
