Abstract

Nanosized amorphous alloy powders of Fe25Ni13Co62, Fe38Ni23Co39, Fe40,Ni24,Co36, and Fe69Ni9Co22 were prepared by sonochemical decomposition of solutions of volatile organic precursors, Fe(CO)5, Ni(CO)4, and Co(NO)(CO)3 in decalin, under an argon pressure of 100 to 150 kPa at 273 K. The amorphous nature of these particles was confirmed by various techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electron microdiffraction, and x-ray diffractograms. Magnetic measurements indicated that the as-prepared amorphous Fe–Ni–Co alloy particles were superparamagnetic. The observed magnetization measured up to a field of 1.5 kG of the annealed Fe–Ni–Co samples (75–87 emu g−1) was significantly lower than that for the reported multidomain bulk particles (175 emu g−1), reflecting the ultrafine nature of our sample.
