The thermal stabilities of antiferromagnetic (AFM) nanocrystals are dramatically different from those of their bulk counterparts. To understand the underlying mechanisms and factors that dominate the general trend of the tunability, the authors have established an analytic and simple model for the size and magnetic proximity effects on the thermal stability of AFM nanocrystals. This model has predicted size-induced undercooling and superheating in the Neel transition of AFM nanocrystals in bare nanoparticles, nanowires or nanorods, and thin films supported by nonmagnetic and magnetic substrates. The model enables us to reproduce the available experimental results of Ho, NiO, MnO, CuO, Co 3 O 4 , CoO, NiF 2 , and FeF 2 AFM nanocrystals without any adjustable parameter.
