Magnetic nanoparticles represent complex but very interesting objects. They combine the bulk properties with novel phenomena emerging at the nanoscale due to finite-size effects. The recent development of the synthetic procedures allows having a strong control on the size and shape of individual particles and on their physical-chemical...

This study investigates the effects of Zn substitution on the magnetic properties of similar to 5 nm cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (ZnxCo(1-x)Fe(2)O(4), where x = 0, 0.13, 0.34, and 0.55), demonstrating that Zn substitution induces complex changes in spin canting and prompts a redistribution of cations among the sublattices. We reconstructed the...
