The present study investigates the magnetic properties of spherical monodispersed maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3) nanoparticles coated with multiple silica (SiO2) layers of different thicknesses, forming core-shell multifunctional nanomaterials. This study was performed using a combination of local probe techniques (Mossbauer spectrometry) and magnetization measurements. At room temperature, both techniques confirm the superparamagnetic state of the samples, even after being coated with the SiO2 shells. The zero-field-cooling-field-cooling magnetization curves of the silica-coated gamma-Fe2O3 nanomaterials with different shell thicknesses allow the evaluation of the intensity of the interparticle dipole-dipole interactions. We estimate the interparticle energy within the framework of dipolar interaction models and relate it with the hyperfine parameters. We further observe that this dipole-dipole interaction increases the superparamagnetic energy barrier, which largely depends on the interparticle distance. Finally, we consider the effect of spin canting at the surface (dead layer) of uncoated gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles manifested by a layer of similar to 0.5(1) nm.
