Magnetization is a key property of magnetic materials. Nevertheless, a satisfactory, analytical description of the temperature dependence of magnetization in double perovskites such as strontium ferromolybdate is still missing. In this work, we develop, for the very first time, a model of the magnetization of nanosized, magnetically inhomogeneous Sr2FeMoO6-δ nanoparticles. The temperature dependence of magnetization was approximated by an equation consisting of a Bloch-law spin wave term, a higher order spin wave correction, both taking into account the temperature dependence of the spin-wave stiffness, and a superparamagnetic term including the Langevin function. In the limit of pure ferromagnetic behavior, the model is applicable also to SFMO ceramics. In the vicinity of the Curie temperature (T/TC > 0.85), the model fails. |
