Longitudinal domain wall formation in elongated assemblies of ferromagnetic nanoparticles
Through evaporation of dense colloids of ferromagnetic ∼13nm Ɛ-Co particles onto carbon substrates, anisotropic magnetic dipolar interactions can support formation of elongated particle structures with aggregate thicknesses of 100-400â €‰nm and lengths of up to some hundred microns.

| Sumario: | Through evaporation of dense colloids of ferromagnetic ∼13nm Ɛ-Co particles onto carbon substrates, anisotropic magnetic dipolar interactions can support formation of elongated particle structures with aggregate thicknesses of 100-400â €‰nm and lengths of up to some hundred microns. Lorenz microscopy and electron holography reveal collective magnetic ordering in these structures. However, in contrast to continuous ferromagnetic thin films of comparable dimensions, domain walls appear preferentially as longitudinal, i.e., oriented parallel to the long axis of the nanoparticle assemblies. We explain this unusual domain structure as the result of dipolar interactions and shape anisotropy, in the absence of inter-particle exchange coupling. |
