RT Journal Article T1 Ferromagnetism in fcc twinned 2.4 nm size Pd nanoparticles A1 Sampedro, B. A1 Crespo del Arco, Patricia A1 Hernando Grande, Antonio A1 Litran, R. A1 Sánchez López, J. C. A1 López Cartes, C. A1 Fernández, A. A1 Ramírez, J. A1 Gónzalez Calbet, J. A1 Vallet, M. AB The onset of ferromagnetism has been experimentally observed in small Pd particles of average diameter 2.4 nm. High-resolution studies reveal that a high percentage of the fcc particle exhibits single and multiple twinning boundaries. The spontaneous magnetization close to 0.02 emu/g seems to indicate that only a small fraction of atoms holds a permanent magnetic moment and contributes to ferromagnetism. The possible origin of ferromagnetism is briefly discussed according to different models recently reported.
