Measurements of ac-susceptibility and dc-magnetization were carried out on samples of Ni1−xZnxFe2O4 nanoparticles (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75) with average diameters D ≈ 7 nm. Values of the superparamagnetic blocking temperature TB were obtained from the characteristic temperature behavior of the imaginary susceptibility χimag. An Arrhenius-type law, which accurately describes the relationship between the observation time τobs and the blocking temperature, was used to determine the effective energy barrier to magnetization reversal Ueff. A Zn-content dependence of the energy barrier is observed, where Ueff changes little for 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.25, it peaks at x = 0.5, and decreases back upon further Zn-doping. The large increase of Ueff at x = 0.5 is attributed to an enhanced magnetic anisotropy induced by the crossover between two spatial arrangements of spins in the A and B sub-lattices of the ferrimagnetic inverse spinel.
