Abstract

Recent studies of granular magnetic solids involving Fe and its alloys embedded in either an insulating medium (e.g. SiO2 A12O3) or a metallic medium are described. Below the percolation threshold, isolated magnetic granular exhibit single-domain properties and superparamagnetic relaxation. Giant coercivity has been uncovered in granular Fe-SiO2, with Hc- as high as 3 kOe at 5 K and 1.1 kOe at 300 K. Some recent results on granular Fe in a metallic medium, and other granular magnetic systems will also be discussed.
