I would replace "dependence" with a the phrase "how M depends on T" Explanation: Your sentence, which is alright as it stands, may become a bit clearer or smoother with the following minor changes: The focus of our research was to show how saturation magnetization depended on temperature in the case of ferrimagnetic nanoparticles of XXX that were surfacted with oleic acid and dispersed in petroleum. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-01 00:39:24 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"Depended\" may also be replaced with \"varied with\" or \"was a function of\": The focus of our research was to show how saturation magnetization varied with temperature in the case of ferrimagnetic nanoparticles of XXX that were surfacted with oleic acid and dispersed in petroleum. There are other equivalent phrases as well, like \"changed with\" or \"was correlated with.\" another way is to use the expression \"to show the correlation between\": The focus of our research was to show the correlation between saturation magnetization and temperature in the case of ferrimagnetic nanoparticles of XXX that were surfacted with oleic acid and dispersed in petroleum. |

temperature dependence of saturation magnetism Explanation: 1. is good, 2. is good but can be made more concise this way - which sounds very natural in a scientific text 3. sounds OK, perhaps nanoparticles (of XXX) surfacted (or: surface activated) ... Surfact is quite a rare word, means surface activate, but it may be unnecessary to change in this context for experts. |
