This paper focuses on the magnetic properties of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles, discussing the influence of nanoparticles arrangements obtained by different synthesis methods. Using high thermal decomposition (HTD) and direct micellar (DM) routes, three samples of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles with equal primary particle size (similar to 5 nm) were prepared. The HTD method allows one to obtain highly crystalline primary nanoparticles coated by oleic acid organized in a self-assembling arrangement (ACoFe(HTD)). The DM method results to be appropriate to prepare either irregular arrangements (IACoFe(DM)) or spherical iso-oriented nanoporous assemblies (SACoFe(DM)) of primary CoFe2O4 nanocrystals. Despite the same particle size, magnetization measurements of the HTD sample show a tendency toward cubic anisotropy (M-r/M-s approximate to 0.7), while in DM samples, a uniaxial anisotropy (M-r/M-s approximate to 0.4) is observed. The comparison between IACoFe(DM) and SACoFe(DM) samples indicates that the ordering of nanocrystals at the mesoscopic scale induces an increase of the coercive field (mu H-0(c) approximate to 1.17 T -> mu H-0(c) approximate to 1.45 T) and of the reduced remanent magnetization (M-r/M-s approximate to 0.4 -> M-r/M-s approximate to 0.5). The reason for these differences is discussed. In particular, a detailed study on interparticle interactions is carried out, highlighting the influence of the molecular coating and the formation of spherical iso-oriented assemblies.
