We studied Ni/CoO core-shell nanoparticles (NP) obtained with a gas aggregation source. The NP oxide shells were produced bye reactive deposition of Co in Oxygen atmosphere (pO2 ≈ 10−7 mbar). XPS, SEM, STEM were used to obtain information on Ni chemical state and NP structure and morphology. XMCD result showed evidence of remanent magnetization at room temperature. We interpret XMCD results as due to stabilization induced by exchange bias due to AFM/FM coupling at the core/shell interface.
