Abstract

A theory for superparamagnetic relaxation based on phonon-modulated exchange interaction is developed. A one-phonon direct–two-magnon inelastic scattering process is considered and it is assumed that this leads to a spin transition ∣S z > → ∣S z  ± 1> of the total spin S. Corresponding transition probabilities and from these Mössbauer patterns are calculated. The influence of sample temperature, particle size and external magnetic field is demonstrated.
