The study investigates the dynamic behavior of suspended and immobilized magnetic nanoparticles under different magnetic properties, focusing on the effect of easy axis alignment on the magnetic properties of nanoparticles.
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been widely studied for bio-sensing applications, where suspended and immobilized MNPs can be magnetically distinguished using their different magnetic properties. We study magnetic properties of suspended and immobilized MNPs when the Neel relaxation time is much shorter than the Brownian. We show in both numerical simulation and experiment that they have different magnetic properties such as AC magnetization curves and harmonic spectra even though the dynamic behavior of both MNP types is primarily dominated by Neel relaxation. This difference is caused by the partial alignment of the easy axes in suspended MNPs when an AC magnetic field is applied. We introduce a distribution function for the angle of easy axis alignment. We also show a method to evaluate the distribution function from the measured AC magnetization curve and clarify the relationship between easy axis alignment and the AC field strength. Using the distribution function, we can quantitatively discuss the effect of easy axis alignment on the magnetic properties of suspended MNPs. The obtained results provide a basis for using MNPs in bio-sensing. Published under an exclusive license by AIP Publishing
