摘要
Fe3O4 (9 nm) grown epitaxially on one or several facets of a seed Au particle (8 nm) leads to two distinct composite nanoparticle structures dubbed "dumbbell-" and "flower-like." These particles exhibit novel magnetic behavior such as large magnetic anisotropy compared to the single component Fe3O4 . We have studied the static and dynamic magnetic properties using temperature and field-dependent demagnetization and RF transverse susceptibility. While the magnetic properties of dumbbell-like particles are relatively conventional, field-cooled M-H loops of flower-shaped particles as well as the transverse susceptibility show large shifts along the field axis indicative of exchange bias.
