Abstract:
High temperature solution phase decomposition of Fe(CO)5 and reduction of Pt(acac)2 in the presence of stabilizers of oleic acid and oleyl amine are employed to produce Fe(1-x)Pt(x) alloy nanoparticles. The Fe and Pt composition of the nanosized materials can be tuned by adjusting the molar ratio of Fe(CO)5 to Pt(acac)2, and the compositions ranging from Fe40Pt60 to Fe80Pt20 are obtained. This study is to investigate the influence of the composition on Curie temperature (Tc) of Fe(1-x)Pt(x) nanoparticles monitored by thermomagnetic analysis (TMA).

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
