| Magnetic properties of MnAs nanocrystals embedded in GaAs are analyzed in the frame of phenomenological model proposed by Sasaki for ferritin superparamagnets. Our calculations explain qualitatively experimental data of magnetization versus temperature, obtained according to zero-field-cooled and field-cooled protocols. They show dynamics of magnetization of MnAs nanocrystals in range of temperature from 10 K to 320 K. There is transition from state in which very slow dynamics is observed (frozen state) to state in which dynamics is fast (quasi-superparamagnetic state). |
