Özet

Pd-Co based magnetic alloy nanoparticles were prepared by the modified polyol process and stabilized by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and 3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane (APES) capping agents and further reduction of metal salts with Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) at high temperature to form desired NPs. We have a detailed investigation of the effect of Pd concentration in the Pd-Co alloy NPs on structural and magnetic properties. XRD and Rietveld refinement analyses were confirmed that the multiphase structures of fcc-PdCo, fcc-Co, and hcp-Co phases coexist at low Pd loading samples. Over %50 of Pd loading resulted in a single fcc-PdCo phase with reduced lattice parameter to 4.0079 angstrom and d((111))-space to 2.31 angstrom. TEM and SEM images reveal well dispersed and uniformly distributed NPs with an average particle sizes of below 7 nm. The elemental compositions and the characteristic OH, CH, CO stretching peaks of capping agents were confirmed by EDS and FT-IR spectrums, respectively. M(T) and M(H) curves revealed that there are multi magnetic phase transitions in the Pd-Co structure as a function of Pd loading from superparamagnetic to ferromagnetic phase or back to superparamagnetic phase by reducing the temperature from 300 K to 5 K. We observed that the blocking temperature (T-B) could not be detected due to 5% Pd loading below 300 K, while it reduced up to 55 K at high Pd loading of 62%. The coercive field (H-c) was increased to similar to 1900 Oe for Pd0.62Co0.38 sample due to the smallest particle size as 5.26 nm. The highest amount of Co resulted in maximum saturation magnetization (M-s) up to 65.5 emu/g for 5% Pd concentration. We measured the M-r/M-s ratios were less than 0.5, which is due to the internal stress that results in the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in the structure. The maximum K-eff and mu(f.u). values were found to be over 12.9 x 10(6) erg/cm(3) and 0.72 mu(B) at 5 K for 5% Pd concentration, respectively. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
