We compare the structural, chemical, and magnetic properties of magnetite nanoparticles. Aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy reveals the prevalence of antiphase boundaries in nanoparticles that have significantly reduced magnetization, relative to the bulk. We show that atomistic magnetic modelling of nanoparticles with and without these defects reveal the origin of the reduced moment. Strong antiferromagnetic interactions across antiphase boundaries support multiple magnetic domains even in particles as small as 12–14 nm.
