Abstract
The effect of thermal-nitrification on L1o transfomation in nano-sized FePt particles was studied. As-synthesized FePt nanoparticles by thermal decomposition method have fcc structured phase and their Hc and Ms were 247.34 Oe and 27.308 emu/g, respectively. According to the XRD analysis, phase transformation from fcc (face centered cubic) to fct (face centered tetragonal) structure was revealed by heating under $NH_3+H_2$ mixed-gas atmosphere. Also a slight shift of each (111) peak indicated phase transformation from fcc to fct structure. Hc and Ms of fct FePtN were 1058.2 Oe and 32.718 emu/g, respectively. The nano-sized FePtN magnetic particles synthesized by thermal decomposition method and mixed-gas nitrification are expected for advanced applications such as high density magnetic recording media and biomedical materials.
열분해법으로 합성한 FePt 나노입자를 $NH_3+H_2$ 혼합가스 질화법으로 상변태와 동시에 질화시킨 FePtN 나노입자의 특성을 분석하였다. 초기 합성된 FePt 나노입자는 fcc 구조를 가졌으며, 보자력과 포화자화는 각각 247.34 Oe와 27.308 emu/g를 나타내었다. 혼합가스 질화법으로 열처리한 입자는 XRD 분석 결과 fcc 구조에서 fct 구조로 상변태가 진행되었으며, 열처리 온도의 증가에 따라 (111) 피크의 $2{\theta}$가 shift되는 특성을 나타내었다. fct 구조의 FePtN의 보자력과 포화자화는 각각 1058.2 Oe and 32.718 emu/g를 나타내었으며, 합성된 FePtN 나노자성입자는 고밀도 자기기록매체와 생체의료 분야에서의 응용이 기대 된다.
