Two kinds of nickel nanoparticles-carbon encapsulated Ni nanoparticles Ni(C) and pure Ni nanoparticles coated with NiO layers Ni(O) are successfully prepared. Structural characterizations (HR-TEM, SAED, and XRD) reveal their distinct morphological properties. Magnetization measurements for the assemblies of two kinds of Ni nanoparticles show a larger coercivity and remanence by a deviation between the zero-field-cooled and the field-cooled magnetization below the irreversibility temperature, T-irr,T- for the assemblies of Ni(O) particles. This deviation may be explained as a typical nanocluster-glass behavior (collective behavior) due to ferromagnetic dipole-dipole interaction effects among the assemblies of Ni(O) particles. However, Ni(C) particles exhibit modified superparamagnetic properties above the average blocking temperature of T-B, which is determined to be around 115 K at 1000 Oe. Moreover, a gradual decrease in saturation magnetization is observed, which is attributed to the nanocrystalline nature of the encapsulated particles, coupled with possible carbon solution in Ni nanocrystals.
