Abstract
Partially ordered FePt nanoparticles were obtained by using polyol reduction of metal salts in an autoclave at high reaction temperature. The resulting FePt nanoparticles synthesized at 400 °C had the particle sizes of 6-7 nm and could be easily redispersed into hexane, toluene and chloroform. Their crystal structure was found to be partially ordered L10 structure and the ordering degree was dependent on the reaction temperature and the reaction time.
