열분해법으로 합성한 FePt 나노입자를 NH3+ H2 혼합가스 질화법으로 상변태와 동시에 질화시킨 FePtN 나노입자의 특성을 분석하였다. 초기 합성된 FePt 나노입자는 fcc 구조를 가졌으며, 보자력과 포화자화는 각각 247.34 Oe와 27.308 emu/g를 나타내었다. 혼합가스 질화법으로 열처리한 입자는 XRD 분석 결과 fcc 구조에서 fct 구조로 상변태가 진행되었으며, 열처리 온도의 증가에 따라 (111) 피크의 2θ가 shift되는 특성을 나타내었다. fct 구조의 FePtN의 보자력과 포화자화는 각각 1058.2 Oe and 32.718 emu/g를 나타내었으며, 합성된 FePtN 나노자성입자는 고밀도 자기기록매체와 생체의료 분야에서의 응용이 기대 된다.

The effect of thermal-nitrification on L1o transfomation in nano-sized FePt particles was studied. As-synthesized FePt nanoparticles by thermal decomposition method have fcc structured phase and their Hc and Ms were 247.34 Oe and 27.308 emu/g, respectively. According to the XRD analysis, phase transformation from fcc (face centered cubic) to fct (face centered tetragonal) structure was revealed by heating under NH3+H2 mixed-gas atmosphere. Also a slight shift of each (111) peak indicated phase
transformation from fcc to fct structure. Hc and Ms of fct FePtN were 1058.2 Oe and 32.718 emu/g, respectively. The nano-sized FePtN magnetic particles synthesized by thermal decomposition method and mixed-gas nitrification are expected for advanced applications such as high density magnetic recording media and biomedical materials.
