摘要: In this paper, we report on the magnetic properties of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with different grain sizes under different pressures. In all the samples, the saturated magnetization Ms shows a linear decrease with increasing pressure. The thickness of the magnetic dead layer on the nanoparticle surface under different pressures was roughly estimated, which also increases with increasing pressure. The transport measurements of the nanoparticle Fe3O4 compacts show that the low-field magnetoresistance (MR) value is insensitive to the grain size in a wide temperature range; however, the high-field MR value is dependent on grain size, especially at low temperatures. These experimental results can be attributed to the different surface states of the nanoparticles.
