Abstract

Magnetic and ferroelectric nanoparticles are subjects of increasing basic research for future technologies. In this work Fe and Ni clusters and near-ferroelectric TiO\(_2\) clusters have been chosen as representatives in order to discuss fundamental issues such as sintering of magnetic and near-ferroelectric clusters as well as configurations resulting from cluster agglomeration due to magnetic dipolar interactions.
