Chemically synthesized magnetite and poly(thiophene)-coated nanoparticles the correlations between their magnetic, structural, microstructural properties are investigated. A typical superparamagnetic behavior was observed for faceted nanoparticle agglomerates of nanocomposite. In nanocomposites, polymer layer causes a sharp decrease in spin disorder, which reduces anisotropy constant significantly. This happens because intimate contact poly(thiophene) leads to charge transfer from core via...
