Abstract

Magnetic nanoparticles with an average size of 11 nm have been prepared by using reverse micelle solutions. The effect of gold coating on the morphology and magnetic properties of cobalt-platinum nanoparticles were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction, energy dispersive x-ray, transmission electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry. Nanoparticles that had useful magnetic properties needed to be protected from oxidation to avoid degrading the favorable magnetic properties. CoPt3 nanoparticles showed a blocking temperature of 40K and coercivity of 261.6Oe. Gold coating of CoPt3 cores with a shell thickness of 5nm further enhanced blocking temperature and coercivity to 45K and 421.1Oe respectively.
