Finite size effects on the metamagnetic phase transition in a thick B2 FeRh nanocluster film
Résumé
FeRh alloys in the CsCl-type (B2) chemically ordered phase present an antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic order transition around 370 K observed in bulk and continuous films but absent in nanoclusters. In this study, we investigate the thermal magnetic behavior of a thick film composed of assembled FeRh nanoclusters preformed in the gas phase. This work reveals a broad and asymmetric metamagnetic transition with a consequent residual magnetization at low temperature. Due to the coexistence of different grain sizes in the sample, we confront the results with a description that involves two populations of B2-FeRh particles, and the existence of a discriminating size below which the magnetic order transition does not take place
