Abstract:
Surface-protected, air-stable nanoparticles of CoPt and CoPt3 were prepared by thermal decomposition/reduction of organometallic precursors with a long-chain aliphatic diol, also known as the polyol process. Particles 3 nm in diameter showed ferromagnetic behavior up to 350 K (Hc = 65 Oe at T = 300 K; Hc = 410 Oe at T = 5K) and underwent a disordering-ordering phase transformation after annealing that resulted in an increase in coercivity (Hc = 170 Oe at T = 300 K; Hc = 2000 Oe at T = 5 K).
