Abstract

The enhanced chemical ordering and coercivity in FePt nanoparticles by the addition of Sb-doped nanoparticles during synthesis and annealing, were analyzed. It was found that Sb-doped FePt nanoparticles require very low annealing temperatures to partially transform to the ordered-L10 structure. Annealing promotes the L10 phase transformation from disordered fcc to ordered fct, as indicated by the emergence of (001), (110), (002), and (201) Bragg peaks. The results show that the ordering temperature bears an inverse correlation with Sb activity and can be lowered by ∼50-100°C.
