A synthetic route to size-controlled fcc and fct FePt nanoparticles (2005)
Journal Article
Howard, L., Nguyen, H., Giblin, S., Tanner, B., Terry, I., Hughes, A., & Evans, J. (2005). A synthetic route to size-controlled fcc and fct FePt nanoparticles. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 127(29), 10140-10141. https://doi.org/10.1021/ja051669e

We report here a new synthetic route to FePt nanoparticles using a stoichiometric mixture of Na2Fe(CO)4 and Pt(acac)2. The structure of FePt nanoparticles, their size, chemical composition, and magnetic property can be controlled by various synthetic...

Direct evidence for compressive elastic strain at ground surfaces of nanocomposite ceramics (2005)
Journal Article
Tanner, B., Wu, H., & Roberts, S. (2005). Direct evidence for compressive elastic strain at ground surfaces of nanocomposite ceramics. Applied Physics Letters, 86(6), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1862754

High-resolution grazing incidence x-ray powder diffraction has been used to provide direct evidence for the existence of a uniform compressive strain close to the surface of ground alumina/SiC nanocomposites. No such strain is found in ground surface... Read More about Direct evidence for compressive elastic strain at ground surfaces of nanocomposite ceramics.
