Abstract
Nanosize Co-Sm mixed clusters were prepared in the gas phase from a SmCo5-s olid target mounted in a laser vaporization source. Both, nanostructured pu re Co-Sm films, and films of isolated Co-Sm clusters embedded in a silver m atrix were prepared Composition and structure of the deposits were characte rized by Rutherford Backscattering, transmission electron microscopy and X- ray photoelectron spectrometry. SQUID-magnetometry measurements down to 2.3 K were performed to study the magnetic behavior of the samples. (C) 1999 A cta Metallurgica Inc.
