Quantum tunneling of magnetization in single domain particles
We present a study of the magnetic relaxation of several ferrofluids composed of particles of about 40 Å in diameter (Fe3O4FeC, CoFe2O4). Our key observation is a nonthermal character of the relaxation below 3 K for the CoFe2O4 ferrofluid and below 1 K for the FeC ferrofluid. The crossover temperatu...

| Sumario: | We present a study of the magnetic relaxation of several ferrofluids composed of particles of about 40 Å in diameter (Fe3O4FeC, CoFe2O4). Our key observation is a nonthermal character of the relaxation below 3 K for the CoFe2O4 ferrofluid and below 1 K for the FeC ferrofluid. The crossover temperature from thermal to nonthermal (quantum) regime is in accordance with theoretical suggestions of macroscopic quantum tunneling of magnetization in single doma in particles |
