Figure 10
Selected spin structures and results for the SANS observables for different signs of the anisotropy constants (see legends, |Kc| = 3 × 10−24 J atom−1 and |Ks| = 52.2 × 10−23 J atom−1). The case Kc > 0 and Ks > 0 from Fig. 9(c) is included for completeness. (a) Snapshots of three-dimensional real-space magnetization configurations (particle size 10 nm). (b) The corresponding two-dimensional 〈dΣM/dΩ〉. (c) The azimuthally averaged 〈I(q)〉. (d) The pair-distance distribution functions 〈p(r)〉. (e) The correlation functions 〈c(r)〉. (f) The value of the magnetic SANS cross section at the origin, 〈I(q = 0)〉. The data in panels (b)–(f) correspond to an ensemble of randomly oriented nanoparticles with a mean diameter of μ = 10 nm and σ = 1 nm in a remanent magnetization state (B0 = 0 T) after prior saturation. The inset in panel (e) specifies the signs of the anisotropy constants for panels (c)–(f). |
