Effect of field cooling on magnetic properties of ultrafine CoO/Co particles

Abstract

In CoO-Ag granular films with small CoO contents, we have observed ultrafine Co particles inside or on the surface of the CoO particles. After field cooling under the external magnetic field of 50 kOe, a sustained magnetization (or vertical) shift and exchange field shift were observed. The magnetization shift and the exchange field shift increased as the cooling field is increased and temperature decreased, in correlation to each other.
