Reduced vortex descriptors linking polycrystallinity in magnetic nanoparticles with polarized magnetic small-angle neutron scattering

M. P. Adams, J. Leliaert, A. Michels +1

Analytical vortex models reduce polarized magnetic small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) from nanoparticle ensembles to a small set of texture descriptors. In this work, we apply t…

Polarized neutron scattering as a probe for vortex-type spin correlations in iron oxide multicore assemblies

Venus Rai, Ivan Titov, Elizabeth M. Jefremovas +11

We report an experimental investigation of the magnetic microstructure of iron oxide multicore assemblies by means of polarized small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Guided by a r…

Micromagnetic structure of oxidized magnetite nanoparticles: sharp structural versus diffuse magnetic interface

Elizabeth M. Jefremovas, Michael P. Adams, Lucía Gandarias +4

The oxidation of magnetite to maghemite is a naturally occurring process that leads to the degradation of the magnetic properties of magnetite nanoparticles. Despite being systemat…

Quantum and classical magnetic Bloch points

Vladyslav M. Kuchkin, Andreas Haller, Štefan Liščák +5

A Bloch point represents a three-dimensional hedgehog singularity of a magnetic vector field in which the magnetization vanishes. However, standard micromagnetic theory, developed…

Low-frequency signature of magnetization nutation in nanomagnets

M. P. Adams, R. Bastardis, A. Michels +1

In this work, we show that surface anisotropy in nanomagnets induces a nutational motion of their magnetization at various frequencies, the lowest of which can be described by the…
