Abstract
Magnetically frozen partially disordered state was observed in nanocrystalline bulk iron prepared by ball-milling of microcrystalline Fe. Role of nanostructure and oxidized fraction is pointed out. Altough we have found a small constituent which is proportional to 1/T in the ZFC curve, the magnetization scaling with T 3/2 at high fields and the hysteretic behavior in FC-ZFC curves signalizes the presence of frozen ferromagnet at low temperatures.
