Notes:
Nanocrystalline Cu80Co20 powders were fabricated using a chemical precipitation technique. As-prepared powders consist of metal-oxides having an average particle size of 100 A(ring). When appropriately heat treated, these powders reduce to form a CuCo face-centered cubic alloy; heat treatments at higher temperatures (≥400 °C) facilitate the phase separation of the alloy to its elemental components. Concurrent with an increase in annealing temperature, the coercive field decreases while the magnetization increases, reflecting particle coarsening and the relative amount of free cobalt in the mixture.
