Abstract

Nanocrystalline Fe (α and γ phases), Fe-carbide (Fe3C, Fe7C3 ), Fe-sulfide (Fel-xS), Fe-nitride (Fe3N and Fe4N) particles with narrow size distributions have been produced using a CO2 laser pyrolysis of vapor mixtures of Fe(CO)5 with C2H4, H2S or NH3. Typical production rates of ∼ 1 - 3 g/hr were observed. The chemical phase and size of these nanoscale particles can be controlled by reaction parameters such as laser intensity and gas composition. Pyrolytic carbon coatings were found to be present on the Fe-carbide particles, but absent in the Fe-sulfide and -nitride particles.
