Surface Effects. Spin canting<br />

In a particle of radius 4 nm, about 50% of atoms lie on the surface.<br />

The concept of a well-defined super-moment breaks down.<br />

In real particles, the surface region thickness is very sensitive to particle shape<br />

distortion, surface roughness, surface impurities, defects (like vacancies),<br />

compositional inhomogeneity, surface chemical bonds with environment, etc.<br />
