Abstract

Magnetometric and relaxometric data from SPM particles are revisited, leading to a double conclusion rather different from the original one: accounting for the anisotropy energy not only allows a considerable improvement of the fit of the data to theory, but it also invalidates the conclusion obtained from the high field data (without accounting for anisotropy) concerning an important reduction of the diffusion coefficient by the coating of the particles.
