The numerical investigation of magnetic properties of single domain MnP:GaP nanoparticles

The magnetic properties of MnP:GaP nanoparticles are calculated using a statistical mechanical approach and effect of various factors on magnetization of nanoparticles is studied. The calculation is based on solution of localized partition function and evolution of magnetic moment affected by thermal fluctuation and external field is included by solving master equation. Instead of constant magnetic saturation approximation, a temperature dependent magnetic moment saturation is included to improve calculation efficiency for larger nanoparticles. In the present work, the field-cooled and zero-field-cooled (FC/ZFC) magnetization of randomly oriented anisotropy and log-normal volume distributed nanoparticles are calculated.
