From: Spin canting across core/shell Fe3O4/MnxFe3−xO4 nanoparticles

(a) Schematic showing chemical and physical composition of core/shell nanoparticles. (b) Representative figure showing coherent spin canting across nanoparticles under application of applied magnetic field. Due to interparticle correlation of canted spins, the domain has a net canted magnetization that can be measured in terms of parallel and perpendicular components. Particles are physically separated from one another due to a stabilizing, surfactant coating (oleic acid) on their surface.
