A flow chart explaining the atomistic SANS simulation procedure. (a) A spherical nanoparticle is cut from a simple cubic grid with N × N × N atoms. (b) The time evolution of the Cartesian magnetization components obtained by solving the Landau–Lifshitz equation. (c) The computed equilibrium spin structure of a spherical nanoparticle at remanence (cut through the centre of the particle). (d) A hysteresis loop of an ensemble of randomly oriented nanoparticles. (e) The computed Fourier transform. (f) The two-dimensional magnetic SANS cross section dΣM/dΩ. (g) The azimuthally averaged magnetic SANS cross section I(q). (h) The pair-distance distribution function p(r). |
