Abstract

When colloidal nanoparticles made of soft magnetic materials have strong interparticle interactions, new magnetic phases may be formed, such as super-ferromagnets or super-spin glasses, with different local temperature and field-dependent magnetization dynamics. Magneto-transport experiments on nanoscale tunnel junctions formed in magnetic nanoparticle arrays, defined either by scanning probe tips or patterned nanoscale electrodes, can be used as probes of the magnetization dynamics.
