Abstract

This investigation has looked at the preparation of nanoscale cobalt particles by a simple solid state reaction involving cobalt (II) nitrate and zeolite Na-X under vacuum conditions followed by reduction in an hydrogen atmosphere. Samples were characterised by powder x-ray diffraction and scanning/transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Magnetic measurements were performed on the samples below 300 K using a SQUID magnetometer.
