Abstract
We analyze the magnetic properties of mechanically ground nanosized Ni particles dispersed in a SiO2 matrix. Our magnetic characterization of the as-milled samples show the occurrence of two blocking processes and that of non-monotonic milling time evolutions of the magnetic-order temperature, the high-field magnetization and the saturation coercivity. The measured coercivities exhibit giant values and a uniaxial-type temperature dependence. Thermal treatment carried out in the as-prepared samples result in a remarkable coercivity reduction and in an increase of the high-field magnetization. We conclude, on the basis of the consideration of a core (pure Ni) and shell (Ni-Si inhomogeneous alloy) particle structure, that the magnetoelastic anisotropy plays the dominant role in determining the magnetic properties of our particles.

Unravelling the onset of the exchange bias effect in Ni(core)@NiO(shell) nanoparticles embedded in a mesoporous carbon matrix

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that Ni/NiO shell spins inside the NiO shell freeze into a spin glass (SG)-like state below Tf ∼ 40 K. This is far below the Neel temperature of bulk antiferromagnetic NiO (TN ∼ 523 K) that usually determines the onset of the exchange bias effect.
