Exchange biasing of single-domain Ni nanoparticles spontaneously grown in an antiferromagnetic MnO matrix

Daniel P. Shoemaker, Madeleine Grossman, Ram Seshadri

Exchange biased composites of ferromagnetic single-domain Ni nanoparticles embedded within large grains of MnO have been prepared by reduction of Ni${}_x$Mn${}_{1-x}$O${}_4$ phases in fl…
