To derive reliable and robust properties from magnetic nanoparticles, it is, thus, necessary to understand the competition between particle anisotropy and interparticle interactions that define the magnetic state of nanoparticles, where size control plays an important role. Here, we apply the random anisotropy model (RAM) that considers various magnetic interactions to selectively prepared NiCr nanostructures (NiCr dense nanoclusters, nanogranular NiCr thin films, and Ag(NiCr) nanocomposites) with different interparticle interactions. The estimated single-particle magnetic anisotropy K values (2.82 − 12.3 × 104 J/m3) and careful analysis of magnetization behavior for these nanostructures reveal that orbital hybridization, surface segregation, and interface character govern the magnetic interactions among nanoparticles. Our study demonstrates how magnetic behaviors vary in these different magnetic systems consisting of superparamagnetic (SPM) and ferromagnetic (FM) contributions specific to magnetic interactions.}, title = {Design of various Ni–Cr nanostructures and deducing their magnetic anisotropy}, year = {2021} }
