Abstract

Monodisperse 4.11nm FePt nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical co-reduction of iron (III) acetylacetonate and platinum (II) acetylacetonate by 1,2-hexadecanediol as a reducing agent. Then through the seed mediated growth process smaller sized FePt nanoparticles are used as seeds for the growth of larger sized particles. There is no specific limitation to achieve upper size range by this method. In this work, we have successfully synthesized FePt nanoparticles up to 8.32nm. After annealing these particles become ferromagnetic and their coercivirty increases with increasing particle sizes and reaches a maximum value of 17760Oe for size of 8.32nm.
