Surface-induced cubic anisotropy in nanomagnets
arXiv:cond-mat/0510047 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.73.224402
Abstract
We investigate the effect of surface anisotropy in a spherical many-spin magnetic nanoparticle. By computing minor loops, two-dimensional (2D) and 3D energyscape, and by investigating the behavior of the net magnetization, we show that in the case of not too strong surface anisotropy the behavior of the many-spin particle may be modeled by that of a macrospin with an effective energy containing uniaxial and cubic anisotropy terms. This holds for both the transverse and Néel's surface anisotropy models.
