摘要
The unexpected appearance of magnetic hysteresis and exchange bias effects in nominally antiferromagnetic NiO nanoparticles is usually explained in terms of a core/shell morphology, where a spin glass-like shell is exchange coupled to an antiferromagnetic core. However, recent studies have challenged the validity of this assumption for small enough NiO nanoparticles. In this work we present proof of the core/shell model for NiO nanoparticles with sizes below 10 nm by combining neutron powder diffraction and magnetic measurements. In addition, we have verified that the exchange bias effect persists even when the particle size is reduced down to 4 nm.
