摘要

To understand the influence of the magnetic dipolar interaction on the blocking temperature (T-B) of superparamagnetic systems, usual models treat the dipolar energy as an additional term to the single-particle anisotropy energy barrier. However, such approaches cannot describe non-monotonic T-B(c) dependences as reported both experimental and theoretically. Therefore, alternative approaches should be explored. For such a purpose, in this work we investigate a simple approach based on splitting the total population of the system into two subgroups, depending on its relative orientation (parallel- or antiparallel-aligned) with respect to the applied magnetic field direction. The suitability of such approach was explored by means of a Monte Carlo technique that provided us with a good insight into the properties of the system. Our results indicate that this two-population analysis can be a promising way to understand the SPM behaviour of interacting nanomagnetic systems.
