Talk:Superferromagnetism

Untitled

And how is this different from ordinary ferromagnetism?? Certainly not that it is any stronger than a solid clump of the same stuff, e.g. iron oxide!!

Is this just an example of how nano makes everything super? A scientific hoax?

Note the relations between superferromagnetism and superparamagnetism, both well accepted scientific terms. Read the wikipedia article on superparamagnetism. How is superparamagnetism different from paramagnetism...? Do a Google-Scholar search for superferromagnetism and read... Or read the cited review article. --Denis.g.rancourt (talk) 15:53, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The term superparamagnetism has some justification as a special case of paramagnetism: Very small nanoparticles of a ferromagnetic material lose their coercivity. However, what justtification does superferromagnetism have? It is basically synonimous with ferromagnetism. Although it is mentioned in the literature, it seems to be not more than a buzzword.
