Structural, vibrational, and magnetic properties of self-assembled CoPt nanoalloys embedded in SrTiO3

Structural and magnetic model of self-assembled FePt nanoparticle arrays

Chemically ordered, self-assembled FePt nanoparticle arrays with high magnetic anisotropy are considered a candidate medium for data storage beyond 1 Tbit/in. We report comprehensive structural and magnetic studies on thin (3 layer) assemblies of polyethylenimine (PEI) and 4 nm Fe58Pt42 nanoparticles using X-ray diffraction, small angle neutron scattering and magnetometry. We show that prior to...

Coexistence of plasmonic and magnetic properties in Au89Fe11 nanoalloys.

We describe an environmentally friendly, top-down approach to the synthesis of Au89Fe11 nanoparticles (NPs). The plasmonic response of the gold moiety and the magnetism of the iron moiety coexist in the Au89Fe11 nanoalloy with strong modification compared to single element NPs, revealing a non-linear surface plasmon resonance dependence on the iron fraction and a transition from paramagnetic to...

Magnetic properties of Ni nanowires in self-assembled arrays

Structural and magnetic properties of ternary Fe1– xMnxPt nanoalloys from first principles

BACKGROUND Structural and magnetic properties of binary Mn-Pt and ternary Fe(1-) (x)Mn(x)Pt nanoparticles in the size range of up to 2.5 nm (561 atoms) have been explored systematically by means of large scale first principles calculations in the framework of density functional theory. For each composition several magnetic and structural configurations have been compared. RESULTS The concentr...

Magnetic Properties of Nanostructured CoPt and FePt Thin Films

Polycrystalline MgO underlayer films lead to different preferred orientations of 10 CoPt and FePt films after the annealing process, depending on the thickness of 10 films. 10 films with a thickness greater than 20 nm revealed mostly 10 [100] fiber texture and consequently in-plane anisotropy as determined by magnetic hysteresis. Strong perpendicular anisotropy due to the 10 [001] fiber texture...
