abstract = {Iron oxide nanoparticles find a wide variety of
applications, including targeted drug delivery and
hyperthermia in advanced cancer treatment methods. An
important property of these particles is their maximum net
magnetization, which has been repeatedly reported to be
drastically lower than the bulk reference value. Previous
studies have shown that planar lattice defects known as
antiphase boundaries (APBs) have an important influence on
the particle magnetization. The influence of APBs on the
atomic spin structure of nanoparticles with the γ-Fe2O3
composition is examined via Monte Carlo simulations,
explicitly considering dipole–dipole interactions between
the magnetic moments that have previously only been
approximated. For a single APB passing through the particle
centre, a reduction in the magnetization of $3.9\%$ (for
9 nm particles) to $7.9\%$ (for 5 nm particles) is found
in saturation fields of 1.5 T compared with a particle
without this defect. Additionally, on the basis of Debye
scattering equation simulations, the influence of APBs on
X-ray powder diffraction patterns is shown. The Fourier
transform of the APB peak profile is developed to be used in
a whole powder pattern modelling approach to determine the
presence of APBs and quantify them by fits to powder
diffraction patterns. This is demonstrated on experimental
data, where it could be shown that the number of APBs is
related to the observed reduction in magnetization.},
