Abstract
Encapsulation of FePt nanoparticles in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was attempted using a thermal chemical vapor deposition technique with a Fe/Pt bilayer catalyst. The metal nanoparticles were encapsulated at the tip of multi-walled CNTs. A selected area electron diffraction measurement of the nanoparticles at CNT tips indicated that diffraction spots attributed to an ordered L10 phase. Magnetic hysteresis loops indicated existence of magnetic nanoparticles having various coercivities. From numerical fittings assuming that high and low coercivity components contributed to the hysteresis loops, the high coercivity component was estimated to reach 11.3 kOe (902 kA/m).
