Description

By combining measurements on two spin-echo spectrometers IN15, we have measured the super-parametric relaxation of nano-scale, magnetic mono-domain iron particles over a very wide time range (0.01 to 160 nsec). Taking into account the effect of particle size distribution, we fit the line-shape of the intermediate scattering function and determine the temperature T and Q dependence of the longitudinal super-spin relaxation time. It is found that below 40 K, inter-particle correlations affect the longitudinal super-spin fluctuations. (authors)
