The sizes of the particles were dictated by controlling the reaction parameters and the type of surfactants. Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry studies showed soft magnetic behavior at 300 K and also at 5 K. The as-prepared, nearly dispersed nanoparticles were assembled and fixed on a polymer substrate. The microwave properties measured by ferromagnetic resonance at 9.61 GHz indicate a minimum line width of about 300 Oe
