Abstract
Utrasmall particles in the iron-mercury system have been found to exhibit superparamagnetic relaxation above 150 K. At 12 K the average hyperfine field is significantly larger than that of bulk α-Fe. The results suggest that most of the iron atoms are influenced by mercury in a surface or bulk phase.
