Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles of Fe and Co were synthesized by Chemical Vapor Cond ensation (CVC) using the precursors of iron carbonyl (Fe(CO)(5)) and cobalt carbonyl (Co-2(CO)(8)) as the sources under a flowing helium atmosphere. C haracteristics were investigated systematically by means of XRD, HRTEM and VSM. Typical particle sizes are on the order of 5 to 13 nm with uniform dis persion. A correlation between the process parameters of CVC and the result ing microstructure of the nanoparticles was investigated. Mechanism of form ing the nanoparticles and the direction to improve the magnetic properties were discussed. (C) 2001 Acta Materialia inc. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
