Spin Structures in Magnetic Nanoparticles

Figure 10

Schematic illustration of two interacting nanoparticles with easy axes 𝑒_𝑝⃗ and 𝑒_𝑞⃗ and sublattice magnetization directions 𝑀_𝑝 and 𝑀_𝑞. α is the angle between the two easy axes, and 𝜃_𝑝 and 𝜃_𝑞 denote the angles between the easy axes and the sublattice magnetization of the two particles.
