CoxC nanorod magnets: Highly magnetocrystalline anisotropy with lower Curie temperature for potential applications

“…In the last two decades the focus has moved from the microcrystalline to the nanocrystalline magnetic materials [1][2][3][4][5]. While the majority of magnetic applications using nanocrystalline materials reply on the soft magnetic properties or those with low coercivities, alternative energy applications require hard magnetic materials or high coercivities [6][7][8][9].…”

Magnetic and Microstructural Studies on PVA/Co Nanocomposite Prepared by Ion Beam Sputtering Technique

“…Cobalt nanostructures have potential applications in the area of high-density magnetic recording system 1 . One of the attractive features of transition metal cobalt (Co) is that it can exhibit ferromagnetic property even if its thickness goes down to the extent of ultra thin level.…”

Spin-dependent transport in nanocomposite C:co films

“…3b displays the field-dependent magnetization of samples with 40 at.% Co grown at different temperatures. The magnetization increases with growth temperature, which clearly reflects the change in the chemical state of Co. Because Co 2 C is non-magnetic, M S is an indication of the amount of crystalline metallic Co formed in the film [22]. Below the growth temperature of 300°C, Co 2 C is the major phase, while hexagonal close-packed (hcp) Co dominates above 300°C, which explains the upward jump of the magnetization in the samples grown at 400°C.…”
