Benefits of technology

[0015] The invention's synthetic method leads to nearly monodisperse particle thin films with controllable coercivity, providing a viable approach to such ultrahigh density recording media.

Problems solved by technology

However, this scaling approach is limited by the onset of superparamagnetic behavior when the grain size falls below some material-dependent characteristic dimension.
This procedure allows little control over particle size or size distribution.

Embodiment Construction

[0027] Long chain diols such as 1,2-octanediol, 1,2-dodecanediol and 1,2-hexadecanediol, etc. have been used previously to reduce metal salts (such as Pt salt, Fe(OCOCH.sub.3).sub.2, Fe(CH.sub.3COCHCOCH.sub.3).sub.2-, Co(OCOCH.sub.3).sub.2, Co(CH.sub.3COCHCOCH.sub.3).sub.2, etc. ) to metal nanoparticles, (e.g., see Murray et al., copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 127,005, which is fully incorporated herein by reference). Thermal decomposition of an organometallic compound (such as Fe(CO).sub.5, Co.sub.2(CO).sub.8, Fe.sub.2(CO).sub.8, [C.sub.5H.sub.5Fe(CO).sub.2].sub.2, and (C.sub.5H.sub.5).sub.2Fe) is a known procedure to separate the Fe and its oxide particles (e.g., M. O. Bentzon, et al., Phil. Mag. B., 1989, V. 60(2), 169, fully incorporated herein by reference). The invention combines these two chemical reactions (e.g., the reduction of the metal salt and the decomposition of the organometallic compound) in situ to form magnetic alloy particles that have a very contr...

Abstract

A method and structure for forming magnetic alloy nanoparticles includes forming a metal salt solution with a reducing agent and stabilizing ligands, introducing an organometallic compound into the metal salt solution to form a mixture, heating the mixture to a temperature between 260° and 300° C., and adding a flocculent to cause the magnetic alloy nanoparticles to precipitate out of the mixture without permanent agglomeration. The deposition of the alkane dispersion of FePt alloy particles, followed by the annealing results in the formation of a shiny FePt nanocrystalline thin film with coercivity ranging from 500 Oe to 6500 Oe.

Description

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention[0002] The present invention generally relates to convenient chemical syntheses of stable, nearly monodisperse alloy magnetic nanoparticles and an economic chemical approach to magnetic alloy nanocrystalline thin film production on a solid surface. The coercivity of the thin film can be controlled in the range between 500 Oe and 6500 Oe. This synthesis route offers a viable approach to the production of ultra-high density recording media.[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art[0004] The storage density of commercial magnetic recording media is increasing at a compound rate of 60% per annum. As the storage density increases the individual storage bit size decreases proportionally. To control signal to noise ratios and other recording parameters, it is advantageous to maintain a large number of ferromagnetic grains per bit. Thus, the development of new magnetic media with smaller grains, high coercivity and high magnetization is required. Furthermore, ...
