We report on the low-temperature magnetic ac-susceptibility of antiferromagnetic DyPO4 nanoparticles with a very high surface to volume ratio. The results are interpreted in terms of superparamagnetic relaxation of the Neel vector arising from a relatively large number approx 0.2 Na of uncompensated spins probably existing on the surface of the nanoparticles. The activation energy of the relaxation process is found to be Ea / kB = (2.6+-0.1) K within a model taking into account the magnetic interaction between nanoparticles.
