Schema of Multicore Magnetic Nanoparticle Comprising N Randomly Oriented Magnetic Crystallites

Caption

Schema of multicore magnetic nanoparticle comprising N randomly oriented magnetic crystallites (gray spheres) each having a magnetic moment m_s. For clarity, the magnetic moments of only a few crystallites are shown. The effective magnetic moment of the multicore nanoparticle is given by the vectorial sum of the nanocrystallite magnetic moments.
