- Abstract
- We developed a direct method to extract the zero-field zero-temperature anisotropy energy barrier distribution of magnetic particles in the form of a blocking-temperature distribution. The key idea is to modify measurement procedures slightly to make nonequilibrium magnetization calculations (including the time evolution of magnetization) easier. We applied this method to the biomagnetic molecule ferritin and successfully reproduced field-cool magnetization by using the extracted distribution. We find that the resulting distribution is more like an exponential type and that the distribution cannot be correlated simply to the widely known log-normal particle-size distribution. The method also allows us to determine the values of the zero-temperature coercivity and Bloch coefficient, which are in good agreement with those determined from other techniques.
