摘要
Co-W nanoparticles formed by sequential sputtering of Co on amorphous alumina substrate and subsequent W capping are studied by high resolution and by scanning transmission electron microscopies, and by superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry. The analysis is focused on W nominal thickness dependence. Results suggest the formation of amorphous Co-W alloy nanoparticles, whose magnetic moment per Co atom is systematically reduced as the nominal thickness of W capping layer increases. The Co-W nanoparticles show superparamagnetic behavior. The activation energy for moment reversal and the effective anisotropy are obtained. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.
