Abstract
Inelastic neutron scattering is utilized to measure the spin waves, or magnons, which arise from inter-particle coupling between 8.4 nm ferrite nanoparticles that are self-assembled into a close-packed lattice, yet physically separated by oleic acid surfactant. The observed magnons are dispersive, respond to an applied magnetic field, and display the expected temperature-dependent Bose population factor. Moreover, the dispersion yields a non-negative energy gap only when the effective Q is reduced by the inter-particle spacing, confirming that it is an excitation between the nanoparticles ,rather than originating within individual nanoparticles. The experimental results are well explained by a limited parameter model which treats the 3D ordered, magnetic nanoparticles as dipolar-coupled superspins.Citation
