- experimentally that ordered arrays of particles with monodisperse size distribution can be prepared by various synthesis routes ([3] and references therein). The as-prepared particles, however, are in most cases partially disordered and can also contain twin planes [4]. In the past, major attention has been paid

- ]. Moreover, below T0 the memory and rejuvenation phenomena that are characteristic for spin-glass behavior have been observed [20]. The studies of ‘super spin-glass’ behavior have recently been reviewed [21][22]. As an example, Figure 1 shows the relaxation time of suspensions of nearly monodisperse 4.7 nm
- nearly monodisperse particles suspended in decalin as a function of temperature. The data were obtained from AC susceptibility measurements. The open circles are data from a dilute sample, whereas the full circles are data for a concentrated sample. The insets show a transmission electron microscopy (TEM

- found to be highly monodisperse and superparamagnetic at 300 K (Figure 2a). The MNPs were subsequently rendered water-soluble using the small molecule, meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA). DMSA has a terminal carboxylic acid group at one end which interacts directly with the magnetic core, and a

- (AFM) images in Figure 1a and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images in Figure 1b. The monodisperse nature of the particles and their ordering can be observed in these images. Furthermore, in both images common faults can be seen which are encountered in NP monolayer samples prepared by spin-coating

Flash laser annealing for controlling size and shape of magnetic alloy nanoparticles
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2010, 1, 55–59, doi:10.3762/bjnano.1.7
- applications depend on the ability to synthesize NPs with a very good control over the size distribution and the chemical composition. Up to now, only chemical synthesis is able to produce monodisperse CoPt [6] and FePt [7][8] NPs with a polydispersity (that is, standard deviation divided by the mean size) as
- small as 10%. However, chemically prepared monodisperse bimetallic NPs are limited to sub-10 nm diameter, and postsynthesis thermal treatments used to increase NPs size, inevitably widen size dispersion. Vapour phase homogenous nucleation allows the fabrication of sub-10 nm and sup-10 nm particles, but
- effects are obtained with CoPt thin films near the percolation threshold, indicating that the morphological transformations does not depend on the as-grown film morphology. If flash laser annealing experiments always result in spherical and monodisperse NPs, the nominal thickness of the as-grown film can
