Fe-C) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized using the laser pyrolysis method and variable nozzle geometries. At large nozzle diameters, XRD and SAED analysis clearly identified distinct {alpha}-Fe and Fe{sub 3}C phases. TEM and HRTEM indicated that these Fe-based nanoparticles have an average grain size of 3.5-10.2 nm. Temperature dependent Moessbauer spectra further confirm their distinct nanophases. By using a multi-step reduction procedure, Fe-C powders can be disaggregated into stable, water soluble nanoparticles.
