Abstract
The magnetic properties of iron nanoparticles partially encapsulated at the tips of aligned carbon nanotubes have been studied. The carbon nanotube wa ll not only protects the metallic particles from oxidization, but also redu ces the inter-particle dipolar interaction by non-magnetic separation. Magn etic characterizations performed in the temperature range of 5-350K with ma gnetic field up to 3T show that these carbon-nanotube-supported iron partic les are good candidates for high-density magnetic recording media.
