Popis: In magnetic nanoparticle systems, the variation of the blocking temperature T B with the measuring frequency f m is often used to determine the strength of the interparticle interactions (IPI) through a parameter Φ or the Vogel-Fulcher temperature T o . Presence of IPI is inferred if T o > 0 and Φ = ∆ T B [ T B ∆ log 10 f m ] 0.13 where Δ signifies changes in T B and f m . Here it is shown that these two parameters are related by the Eq. Φ = Φ o [ 1 − ( T o T B ( 1 ) ) ] where Φ o ≈ 0.11–0.15 is a constant of the system depending on the magnitudes of measuring frequency and the attempt frequency f o of the Neel relaxation. Using data on a variety of nanoparticle systems, experimental verification of this relationship is also presented.
