Magnetic response of core-shell cobalt ferrite nanoparticles at low temperature

Abstract

Cobaltferritenanoparticles (size: 26±4nm) have been synthesized by coprecipitation route. The coercivity of nanoparticles follows a simple model of thermal activation of particle moments over the anisotropy barrier in the temperature range of 30–300K in accordance with Kneller’s law; however, at low temperatures
