High thermal stability of carbon-coated L10-FePt nanoparticles prepared by salt-matrix annealing

Journal Article · · Journal of Applied Physics
OSTI ID:974569
Monodisperse L1{sub 0}-FePt nanoparticles with size ranging from 3 to 8 nm were prepared by the salt-matrix annealing method. It was observed that the annealed particles have high thermal stability - no sintering occurred even when the particles were heated at 1100 C for an hour. This high thermal stability resulted from carbon coating of the particles during salt-matrix annealing as consequence of decomposition of surfactants.
