Exchange-interaction by the induced growth of the soft phase on the extreme hard phase

The significant change is reported in interparticle interaction for nanocomposites of ε-Fe2O3 and FeCo as the grain size of the soft phase (FeCo) increases upon annealing. It undergoes a transition from the dipolar interaction dominant regime into the exchange-interaction dominant regime, starting f...
