Using microemulsion methods, CoO-Pt core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and x-ray absorption spectroscopy, which confirmed the existence of CoO cores and pure Pt surface layers. Using a magnetometer, the ac and dc magnetic properties were investigated over a range of temperature (2 K ≤T≤ 300 K), magnetic field (≤50 kOe), and frequency (≤1 kHz). The data suggest the presence of two different magnetic regimes whose onsets are identified at 6 K and 37 K, respectively. The magnetic behavior around 37 K indicates a superparamagnetic blocking of interacting nanoparticle moments. The behavior at 6 K characterizes a collective freezing of the nanoparticle moments in a superspin glass state. This co-existence of blocking and freezing behaviors is consistent with the presence of an antiferromagnetically ordered core and a magnetically disordered interlayer between the CoO core and the Pt shell.
