Abstract
Magnetic FeCo alloy nanoparticles have been synthesized by reduction of FeSO4 and CoCl2 with hydrazine in concentrated alkaline media via a hydrothermal route. The size could be controlled by synthetic conditions such as reaction time and temperature, respectively. The obtained samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and VSM techniques. Magnetic investigations show the ferromagnetic behavior with saturation magnetization higher than 148.2 emu/g and maximum coercivity up to 411.0 Oe at room temperature. The present method is simple, inexpensive, surfactant-free, and may stimulate technological interests. Such FeCo alloy nanoparticles may have potential applications in biomedical field and magnetic storage devices.
