Abstract:
We have measured the magnetization of undoped and Fe(2+/3+) doped CeO(2-y) nanocrystals at various temperatures and magnetic fields. The Stoner condition N(0)I > 1 is multiply fulfilled in the case of nano-CeO(2-y), favoring the band ferromagnetism approach. In the case of Fe-doped samples, the magnetization versus magnetic field dependence is well fitted with a weighted Langevin function. A blocking temperature of about 20 K is obtained both from the ZFC/FC curves and from the coercive field against temperature dependence. The temperature and field dependence of the magnetization clearly shows the presence of nanosized particles which exhibit superparamagnetic behavior.

Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
