Abstract
The smaller the size of magnetic nanoparticles is, the less their coercivity will be. The magnetic coercivity of FePt nanoparticles, in the compound ordered phase, known as fct-L10 FePt, is up to the order of tesla; however, the temperature of 600 °C, required for the formation of this phase, increases the size of FePt nanoparticles. In this research, fct-L10 FePt nanoparticles were fabricated using the direct synthesis method by Co-sputtering system. The presence of a CoPt3 sublayer resulted in the formation of a fct-L10 phase of FePt nanoparticles at 400 °C with a uniform surface distribution and mean size and standard deviation of 11 nm and 1.5 nm, respectively. The same as the other results of FePt/CoPt3, magnetic coercivity of fct-L10 FePt nanoparticles, with the mentioned size, reached to 3.0 kOe at room temperature, because of the presence of the CoPt3 sublayer.
