摘要
Co50Pt50 nanoparticles were co-deposited on thermally oxidized Si substrates by electron beam evaporation at 750 degrees C. The mean particle sizes are between similar to 5 and similar to 20 nm and depend on the nominal thickness of the layer. Different processing conditions resulted in different structural and morphological properties of the samples which led to superparamagnetic and ferromagnetic behaviors. The post-annealing treatment of the CoPt nanograins resulted in the crystallization of the L1(0) ordered phase and in the magnetic hardening of nanoparticles with a maximum coercivity of similar to 7.4 kOe.
