Abstract
Iron-nickel-based powders and thin films were synthesized by an electroless polyol method. The growth process as a function of deposition time was studied. The Fe concentration of deposited films and precipitated powders were similar and independent of deposition time. The metalorganic intermediates were present in powders and their amount decreased with time. The morphological investigations suggested that 60 min was the optimum deposition time to deposit dense films with particles of narrow size distribution. In addition, the films deposited at 60 min also possessed the highest saturation magnetization due to a more ordered atomic environment of nickel. The as-deposited Fe was apparently oxidized in the films.
