Description

Fe16N2 has been reported to have a saturation magnetization as high as 2.8-3.0 T based on molecular beam epitaxy deposited single crystal film. We report on Fe nitride nanoparticles prepared with a gas-aggregation nanocluster deposition technique, which could potentially generate pure metastable Fe16N2 phase nanoparticles. Nitrogen gas has been used to nitride the particles after they have been formed in the cluster source. X-ray diffraction patterns show a peak split of α-Fe (110) at 52.4 deg. (2θ), which indicates the formation of Fe3N phase
