← ScienceWhich consequence results when exceeding the blocking temperature in single-domain ferromagnetic nanoparticles?
A)Loss of spontaneous magnetisation✓
B)Increased magnetic domain alignment
C)Enhanced quantum tunneling effect
D)Suppressed surface oxidation rate
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the blocking temperature allows thermal energy to overcome the magnetic anisotropy energy barrier, because Néel Relaxation causes randomisation of the magnetic moment. Magnetisation disappears therefore, rather than alignment, because of this disorder.
