  We study properties of magnetic nanoparticles adsorbed on the halloysite
surface. For that a distinct magnetic Hamiltonian with random distribution of
spins on a cylindrical surface was solved by using a nonequilibrium Monte Carlo
method. The parameters for our simulations: anisotropy constant, nanoparticle
size distribution, saturated magnetization and geometrical parameters of the
halloysite template were taken from recent experiments. We calculate the
hysteresis loops and temperature dependence of the zero field cooling (ZFC)
susceptibility, which maximum determines the blocking temperature. It is shown
that the dipole-dipole interaction between nanoparticles moderately increases
the blocking temperature and weakly increases the coercive force. The obtained
hysteresis loops (e.g., the value of the coercive force) for Ni nanoparticles
are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data. We also discuss the
sensitivity of the hysteresis loops and ZFC susceptibilities to the change of
anisotropy and dipole-dipole interaction, as well as the 3d-shell occupation of
the metallic nanoparticles; in particular we predict larger coercive force for
Fe, than for Ni nanoparticles.
