Abstract

The hard magnetic properties of Fe₃Se₄ nanostructures were studied both experimentally and theoretically. Magnetic measurements showed that Fe₃Se₄ nanoparticles can exhibit giant coercivity exceeding 40 kOe at low temperature (10 K). This unusually large coercivity is attributed to the uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the monoclinic structure of Fe₃Se₄ with ordered cation vacancies. The measured anisotropy constant is 1.0 10⁷erg/cm ³, consistent with the result from first-principles calculations. The magnetization reversal mechanism of the nanoparticles is found to be incoherent spin rotation.
