Size and Shape Control of Monodisperse FePt Nanoparticles

Abstract: Morphological control of FePt nanoparticles has been systematically studied. By varying synthetic parameters including precursors, solvents, amount of surfactants, and heating rate of the solution, the particle size from 2 to 9 nm can be tuned with 1 nm accuracy. While most particles are spherical in shape, cubic particles can be obtained when particles are greater than 7 nm. Rod-shape nanoparticles have also been obtained. The as-synthesized nanoparticles are found to be superparamagnetic at room temperature … Show more

“…Wet-chemical techniques are suitable for producing monodisperse and self-assembled nanoparticles of average sizes tunable from 3 to 15 nm, which are generally produced by the reduction or decomposition of metal salts in the presence of stabilizing or capping agents [9,10,[20][21][22][23]. For example, the reduction of platinum acetylacetonate and decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl in the presence of oleic acid and oleylamine stabilizers results in monodisperse FePt nanoparticles [9], which can be deposited as self-assembled nanoparticle arrays on suitable substrates using spin or dip-coating.…”

“…3 Typically, when a smaller amount of surfactants is injected simultaneously after the addition of Fe͑CO͒ 5 in the ether solvent, spherical FePt nanoparticles are formed. 7,[11][12][13] It has been found from our study that not only the molar ratio of surfactants but also the sequence of addition of the surfactants and metal precursors has influence on the shape of FePt nanoparticles. For example, nanorods and nanowires were obtained when oleylamine was added before the addition of Fe͑CO͒ 5 , followed by oleic acid, at the molar ratio of oleylamine to oleic acid at 4:1͓Figs.…”

“…It is known that surfactants play a vital role in growth of nanocrystals. 3,7,9,[11][12][13][14] The anisotropic interaction between the capping agents and the different facets of Fe-Pt crystals should be the key for the formation of differently shaped nanocrystals. 3 Typically, when a smaller amount of surfactants is injected simultaneously after the addition of Fe͑CO͒ 5 in the ether solvent, spherical FePt nanoparticles are formed.…”

“…The cubic shape may also be explained by the molecular structure of the solvent. 20 The black particles were precipitated after adding 35 ml of ethanol and separated by centrifugation at 6000 rpm for 20 min. The precipitated particles were then dispersed in 10 ml of hexane.…”
