| Temperature dependences of magnetization of core-shell-type nanoparticles with non-magnetic core and ferromagnetic shell are obtained using Monte Carlo simulation. The influence of surface spin disorder of the ferromagnetic shell on overall shape of magnetization curve is analyzed. The magnetic state diagram (in shell thickness - surface anisotropy coordinates), separating collinear and non-collinear states, is determined. |
