摘要
Nanocrystalline magnetite Fe3O4 embedded in a non-magnetic matrix was formed by heat treatment of Cn-Si-B-Fe-oxide glass. Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) revealed a bimodal volume size distribution for the nanocrystalline phase with maxima centred at radii of 2.5 nm and 10 nm, respectively. The magnetic scattering behaviour is characteristic for superparamagnetism of single-domain particles following the Langevin statistics. Both fractions of nanocrystals are composed by a superparamagnetic core surrounded by a nonmagnetic surface layer. Magnetisation measurements indicate different thermal variation of the superparamagnetic moments ill both fractions of nanocrystals. (C) 1999 Acta Metallurgica Inc.
