Zusammenfassung:In this study dynamic susceptibility (DS) was used to investigate magnetite nanoparticles dispersed in styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) data have been used to support the DS data analysis. The field dependence of the peak position of the imaginary component of DS was analyzed using a picture of an asymmetric double well potential for the relaxation of the magnetic moment associated with the magnetite nanoparticle. The size dependence of the magnetic susceptibility was included in the data analysis. Nanoparticle-size parameters obtained from the analysis of the DS data (19.1 and 18.2 nm) are in excellent agreement with the values obtained from the fitting of the TEM data (19.2 and 20.1 nm).
