Abstract

ABSTRACTFeCo alloy nanoparticles are synthesized in an RF plasma torch reactor and characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (XRD). Bare, uncoated particles exhibit a chain-like agglomeration morphology marked by large ring- and bridge-like structures surrounding open voids. Acetylene was used to generate large numbers of carbon-coated nanoparticles similar to those produced in carbon arc reactors. Conventional TEM of this powder revealed numerous particles below 50 nm in diameter embedded in a carbonaceous matrix. These results establish RF plasma torch processing as a well-characterized, scalable alternative to carbon arc synthesis of encapsulated nanoparticles.
