International Journal of Physical …, 2012
In this paper, FePt nanocrystals have been prepared by adding LiBEt3H to the phenyl ether solution of FeCl 2 . 4H 2 O and Pt(acac) 2 precursors in the presence of oleic acid and oleylamine surfactants and 1,2hexadecanediol as the reducing reagent at 195°C, followed by refluxing at 245°C by sol process. Similarly, Pt nanoparticles were made by adding 1, 2-hexadecanediol as the reducing reagent to the phenyl ether solution of Pt (acac) 2 . The results of Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that 2 to 7 nm Pt nanoparticles are formed via one step growth whereas, bimetallic 4 nm magnetic FePt nanocryctals are formed by two step growth as core-shell with good uniformity in size and shape. The size measurement results indicated that the standard deviation of FePt nanoparticles improves to 8% because of two step growth process. In order to phase transition from fcc to L1 0 structure , the FePt nanoparticles were annealed at 750°C for 4 h. The structural properties of FePt nanoparticles were analyzed by XRD spectra. To prevent FePt nanoparticles from sintering, NaCl particles were used as the separating media. SEM and TEM observations of FePt show the salt-matrix FePt nanoparticles with size of 40 nm after annealing.
Phase transformation of FePt nanoparticles
2006
Abstract To transfer face-centered cubic (fcc) FePt nanoparticles to face-centered tetragonal (fct) structure with high magnetic anisotropy, heat treatments are necessary. The heat treatments, however, often lead to agglomeration and sintering of the nanoparticles. To prevent the particles from sintering, a new method, the salt-matrix annealing, has been adopted in our experiments recently. The fcc nanoparticles produced by chemical synthesis were mixed with NaCl or other salt powders.
Variant shape growth of nanoparticles of metallic Fe–Pt, Fe–Pd and Fe–Pt–Pd alloys
CrystEngComm, 2009
We report the controlled syntheses of Fe-Pt, Fe-Pd and Fe-Pt-Pd nanoparticles having different isolated shapes including sphere, cube, octopod-cube, star, rod, bilobe, tetrahedron, or multipod with size of 5-50 nm. The formation of such a rich variety of shapes was made possible by controlling the synthetic conditions (e.g. nature and concentration of the precursors, reaction time, temperature and atmosphere) of a thermal decomposition and reduction of precursors in the presence of surfactants. From the results of the investigation, the possible connection between formation of different shapes and the symmetry of the nuclei as well as the divergent kinetics of particle growth have been examined and discussed.
Preparation and characterization of Fe3O4-Pt nanoparticles
Hyperfine Interactions, 2017
Pt and Pt-based nanomaterials are active anticancer drugs for their ability to inhibit the division of living cells. Nanoparticles of magnetite containing variable proportions of platinum were prepared in the laboratory. The magnetite nanoparticles with platinum (Pt-Fe 3 O 4) were obtained by reducing the Fe 3+ of the maghemite (γ Fe 2 O 3) mixed with platinum (II) acetylacetonate and sucrose in two inversely coupled ceramic crucibles and heated in a furnace at 400 • C for 20 min. The formed carbon during this preparation acts to chemically reduce the ferric iron in maghemite. Moreover, its residual layer on the This article is part of the Topical Collection on
Rapid thermal annealing of FePt nanoparticles
Journal of Applied …, 2008
We report a systematic study on rapid thermal annealing ͑RTA͒ of FePt nanoparticles. FePt particles with an average size of 8 nm were synthesized by a chemical solution method, and then annealed using RTA and conventional furnace annealing ͑FA͒. It was observed that FePt nanoparticles can be transformed from disordered A1 phase to ordered L1 0 phase at 650°C for 10 s using RTA, which is much shorter than the time needed for FA. The transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction studies have revealed that the particle agglomeration and grain growth in the RTA treated samples are much less than in the FA treated samples. A linear correlation between the coercivity and the square root of the treatment time ͱ t was observed in the RTA treated samples, which implies that the phase transition is related to atomic diffusion of Fe atoms from Fe-rich shells into the Pt-rich cores.
Phase Transformation and Magnetic Hardening in Isolated FePt Nanoparticles
Nanotechnology, …, 2009
Isolated monodisperse L1 0 FePt nanoparticles coated by carbon were obtained by adding enough surfactants that decomposed into carbon after the chemical synthesis and postannealing of the A1 FePt nanoparticles. The effect of isolation between FePt nanoparticles on the phase transition temperature and magnetic properties has been studied systematically by thermal, magnetic, and structural characterizations and analyses. It was found that the A1 to L1 0 phase transition temperature is dependent sensitively on the amount of isolation medium. The transition temperature shift reaches 150-200 • C from nonisolated particle assemblies to completely isolated particles, which may be attributed to the high activation energy of the phase transformation for the isolated particles.
(Co,Fe)Pt nanoparticles by aqueous route; self-assembling, thermal and magnetic properties
Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 2005
(Co,Fe)Pt alloy nanoparticles of A1-type structure were obtained by reduction of metallic salts by hydrazine in aqueous medium. Sb and Cu were used as additives for the (Co,Pt) and (Fe,Pt) systems, respectively. Sols of CoPt particles capped with oleylamine were obtained in one step by achieving the synthesis in an H 2 O/hexane two-phase medium. Conversion to an L1 0 phase was investigated in powders.

Herein, we report a new approach of an FePt nanoparticle formation mechanism studying the evolution of particle size and composition during the synthesis using the modified polyol process. One of the factors limiting their application in ultra-highdensity magnetic storage media is the particle-to-particle composition, which affects the A1-to-L1 0 transformation as well as their magnetic properties. There are many controversies in the literature concerning the mechanism of the FePt formation, which seems to be the key to understanding the compositional chemical distribution. Our results convincingly show that, initially, Pt nuclei are formed due to reduction of Pt(acac) 2 by the diol, followed by heterocoagulation of Fe cluster species formed from Fe(acac) 3 thermal decomposition onto the Pt nuclei. Complete reduction of heterocoagulated iron species seems to involve a CO-spillover process, in which the Pt nuclei surface acts as a heterogeneous catalyst, leading to the improvement of the single-particle composition control and allowing a much narrower compositional distribution. Our results show significant decreases in the particle-to-particle composition range, improving the A1-to-L1 0 phase transformation and, consequently, the magnetic properties when compared with other reported methods.
