Abstract

Three Fe(β-diketonate)3 compounds namely Fe(tmhd) 3 (tmhd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato), Fe(hfac) 3 (hfac = hexafluoroacetylaceto), and Fe(dbm)3 (dbm = dibenzoylmethane) were used as substitutes to Fe(acac)3 (acac = acetyleacetonate) in the synthesis of FePt nanoparticles. The obtained superparamagnetic nanoparticles are 4-5 nm in diameter without showing a large size variation with substituent Fe(β-diketonate)3. The synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy confirmed the energy dispersive spectroscopy that as-synthesized nanoparticles were composed of iron oxides and metallic FePt3 alloys. By employing Fe(hfac)3, the Fe fraction was reduced and the magnetization was modest. The use of Fe(dbm) 3 as starting materials gave rise to densely packed FePt 3/Fe2O3 heterodimers. The replacements of Fe(acac)3 by Fe(tmhd)3 led to the long-range order of nanoparticle assembly with the narrowest size distribution.
