Abstract

(FePt)100Cu0, (FePt)95Cu5 and (FePt)90Cu10 nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully synthesized by the sol–gel method. The relationship between Cu doping and structure and magnetic properties of L10-FePt NPs was studied. The results indicated that all three samples originated a L10-FePt structure and Cu doping did not destroy the ordered structure of L10-FePt. By increasing the Cu content, c/a ratio of the FePtCu NPs linearly decreased. Pawley refinement showed symmetry of (FePt)95Cu5 NPs was still tetragonal. When the Cu concentration increased from 0 to 10 %, coercivity increased from 7,050 to 11,250 Oe. This result confirms that the prepared alloys can be promising candidates for magnetic storage applications.
