Microstructure and magnetic properties of Co–C nanogranular films

Controlled synthesis and magnetic properties of hard magnetic CoxC (x=2, 3) nanocrystals

“…Thin film and bulk materials of the systems have been studied experimentally [11,12]. Theoretical research on the structure of Co n C (n ¼1-6) clusters has also been reported [13].…”

High coercivity cobalt carbide nanoparticles processed via polyol reaction: a new permanent magnet material

“…There has been much attention paid to carbon-containing magnetic materials, which have many potential applications such as in high-density magnetic recording media, high resistivity soft magnetic materials, magnetic toner in xerography and as contrast agents in high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging. In previous work, researchers have focused on cobalt/carbide related materials which include carbon-coated magnetic-metal nanocrystallites [2], Co-C granular films [3][4][5][6], M n C (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, n = 1-6) nanoclusters [7] and Co 2 C films [8]. In those earlier works, the focus was on the fabrication and application of carbonrelated composites.…”
