Abstract
The Influence of temperature in the range from 275 to 320 K on ESR spectra and magnetization m of ensembles of spherical gadolinium nanoparticles with the diameter from 89 to 18 nm was studied. The particles with d = 18 nm had a cubic face centered structure and no magnetic transition. At T > TC all particles were paramagnetic, and their g factors were g = 1.98 ± 0.02 irrespective of their size and structure. At T = TC the particles having 28 to 89 nm in size experienced a magnetic and orientation transition; at T < TC their m(H) dependences were described by the Langevin function, and the FMR lines broadened and shifted towards H = 0. FMR lines of the Gd particle ensembles showed a hysteresis behavior during magnetization reversal, which did not correlate with the coercivity of the particles. Dependences of the Gd nanoparticles FMR linewidth ΔH(T) changed proportionally to |T–TC|.
