L1{sub 0} CoPt-Au nanoparticles with face-centered tetragonal (FCT) structure were synthesized by sol-gel technique at 700°C. The micro-structure and magnetism of L1{sub 0} CoPt-Au were measured by different measuring technologies. The influences of Au on the micro-structure and magnetism of L1{sub 0} CoPt nanoparticles were investigated. The Au addition promoted the formation of ordered L1{sub 0} phase CoPt nanoparticles and improved the grain size of L1{sub 0} CoPt nanoparticles When the Au content increased to 10 at.%, coercivity increased and saturation magnetization decreased, which may be originated from the increased order degree and ferrimagnetic nature of L1{sub 0} CoPt nanoparticles. Interestingly, when the Au addition was more than 10 at.%, the coercivity decreased due to the decrease of the order degree.
