Rising energy demands, depletion of fossil fuel reserves, and environmental pollution have
fueled the search for energy conversion devices with high efficiency and low emissions. Fuel …

The dramatic developments that occurred in nanophase hard magnetic materials over the
last two decades are reviewed. Much of the research was done after the discovery of …

Carbon coated Fe, Co and Ni nanoparticles (Fe@ C, Co@ C, and Ni@ C, respectively) have
been produced by high pressure chemical vapour deposition. Scanning electron microscopy …

The thermal transformations of metallopolymers and their most typical precursors, resulting
in the formation of nanocomposite materials, are considered. The attention is focused on the …

Iron nanoparticles in a carbon matrix were synthesized by in situ pyrolysis of maleic
anhydride and ferrocene, using different molecular weight percentages. The …

Highly anisotropic face-centered-tetragonal (fct) CoPt and fct FePt nanoparticles have been
prepared and embedded in a C or BN matrix by cosputtering from pure Co 50 Pt 50, BN, and …

Carbon encapsulated Fe nanoparticles were obtained using two methods: arc plasma and
combustion synthesis. These powders were characterized by the following methods: SQUID …

Nanocomposite FePt/C and FePt/BN thin films have been fabricated by dc and rf magnetron
sputtering on naturally-oxidized Si [100] substrates. Particles consisting of the highly …

With strategical selection of the water-soluble sodium chloride (NaCl) as the supporting
material, we realized large-scale production of carbon-encapsulated cobalt nanoparticles …

Carbon-encapsulated Fe3C nanoparticles with diameter of about 10 nm were synthesized
on a large scale via co-carbonization of durene and ferrocene at 540° C under autogeneous …
