Magnetic Anisotropic Energy Gap and Strain Effect in Au Nanoparticles

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We report on the observation of the size effect of thermal magnetization in Au nanoparticles. The thermal deviation of the saturation magnetization departs substantially from that predicted by the Bloch T<sup>3/2</sup>-law, indicating the existence of...
