摘要
Employing phase sensitive micro-Hall magnetometry at room temperature, we map the susceptibility of a single superparamagnetic bead, 1.2 mu m in diameter, as a function of magnetic field. We find that the dependence can be explained by modeling the bead as an ensemble of noninteracting superparamagnetic nanoparticles with log-normal distribution of magnetic moments. We also discuss the effect of possible dipolar interactions between the nanoparticles on the obtained results. (C) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
