To conclude, in the case of magnetic nanoparticles, a magnetic anisotropy determined by magnetocrystalline anisotropy, shape anisotropy, surface anisotropy, and induced anisotropy must be considered:
(1.20)
and an effective magnetic anisotropy constant
(1.21)
respectively.
Typically, in the case of magnetic nanoparticles, this effective anisotropy constant increases when the magnetic nanoparticles become smaller, generally below 15–20 nm, depending on the nature of the material (Figure 1.12).

The Figure 1.12b also shows the variation of the saturation magnetization (see Section 1.1.4) when the diameter of the nanoparticles decreases, this becoming smaller when the size of the nanoparticles decreases.
Moreover, in the case of magnetic core‐shell nanoparticles, the presence of a unidirectional anisotropy (Nogues et al. 2005; Caizer 2019) has recently been highlighted as a result of the coupling between neighboring layers (surface‐layer core) with different magnetic orders of magnetic moments in the network: ferromagnetic core (FM) and antiferomagnetic shell (AFM) (Figure 1.12). Also, in Ref. (Berkowitz and Kodama 2006) a review of the unidirectional (exchange) anisotropy for different FM‐AFM nanostructures may be found. In the case of CoFe2O4/NiO ferrimagnetic/antiferromagnetic nanocomposites, a similar behavior was found (Peddis et al. 2009) (Figure 1.13).

Such situations may occur frequently in the case of different more complex magnetic nanostructures which are currently developed in nanotechnology and bionanotechnology for various applications.
1.1.6 Magnetic Behavior in External Magnetic Field
The magnetization of the bulk magnetic material in the external magnetic field (Cullity and Graham 2009), between two maximum values corresponding to the magnetic saturation, is generally with hysteresis (Figure 1.14a and b), due to the existence of a phase shift between the magnetization of a material and the applied magnetic field. Magnetization of the magnetic material, represented by the type of magnetization curve in Figure 1.14c, takes place both by processes of displacement of the walls of the magnetic domain (in low fields) and by processes of rotations of spontaneous magnetization (in high fields and near saturation), processes that are both reversible and irreversible. The basic macroscopic magnetic quantities characteristic of the hysteresis cycle, which are determined experimentally, are the saturation magnetization (Msat), the remanent magnetization (Mr), the rectangular ratio, r = Mr/Msat, and the coercive field (Hc) (Figure 1.14a). Depending on their applications, certain values and different shapes of the hysteresis curve are targeted. For example in the case of use of magnetic materials in high‐frequency fields, those materials are used that have the hysteresis cycle as narrow as possible with Hc and r as small as possible, close to 0 (preferably r < 0.1) (Figure 1.14b curve (2)); and in the case of applications for memory information, there magnetic materials are used that have the hysteresis cycle as rectangular as possible, with Hc and r as large as possible, theoretically close to the value 1 (preferably r > 0.9) (Figure 1.14b curve (3)), compared to the general case (curve (1)).
