Tuneable magnetic properties of carbon-shielded NiPt-nanoalloys

Coexistence of plasmonic and magnetic properties in Au89Fe11 nanoalloys.

We describe an environmentally friendly, top-down approach to the synthesis of Au89Fe11 nanoparticles (NPs). The plasmonic response of the gold moiety and the magnetism of the iron moiety coexist in the Au89Fe11 nanoalloy with strong modification compared to single element NPs, revealing a non-linear surface plasmon resonance dependence on the iron fraction and a transition from paramagnetic to...

investigation of the electronic properties of carbon and iii-v nanotubes

boron nitride semiconducting zigzag swcnt, $b_{cb}$$n_{cn}$$c_{1-cb-cn}$, as a potential candidate for making nanoelectronic devices was examined. in contrast to the previous dft calculations, wherein just one boron and nitrogen doping configuration have been considered, here for the average over all possible configurations, density of states (dos) was calculated in terms of boron and nitrogen ...

Chemical Synthesis of High-Stable Amorphous FeCo Nanoalloys with Good Magnetic Properties

It is difficult to fabricate high-purity amorphous FeCo alloys by traditional physical methods due to their weak glass forming ability. In this work, the fully amorphous FeCo nanoalloys with high purity and good stability have been prepared by a direct chemical reduction of Fe2+ and Co2+ ions with NaBH₄ as the reducing agent and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the surfactant. The morphologies, su...

Structural and magnetic properties of ternary Fe1– xMnxPt nanoalloys from first principles

BACKGROUND Structural and magnetic properties of binary Mn-Pt and ternary Fe(1-) (x)Mn(x)Pt nanoparticles in the size range of up to 2.5 nm (561 atoms) have been explored systematically by means of large scale first principles calculations in the framework of density functional theory. For each composition several magnetic and structural configurations have been compared. RESULTS The concentr...
