On the length scale of few nanometers, surface effects are not negligible and therefore play an important role for the magnetic behavior of nanoparticles (NP). In this work we investigate the magnetic properties of FePt NP and the change of these properties due to an exchange interaction with an attached antiferromagnetic NP, i.e. FePt@MnO heterodimer NP. The connection of the two NP lead to an increase of the blocking temperature compared to the FePt NP proven by ZFC curves obtained from SQUID measurements. Polarized SANS measurements in a magnetic field have been performed to measure the magnetic form factor of the NP. To investigate the ordering phenomenon and interaction between the NP the samples under study have been deposited on silicon substrates. The self-assembly was studied using AFM and GISAXS instruments. While the FePt NP show a long range ordered structure the heterodimer NP order in a short range structure which is dominated by the larger part of the dimer, i.e. the MnO NP.
