Nanoparticles of solid solution Fe_xPt_1−x, where 0.25≥ x ≥ 0 with Fe₂O₃ shell were synthesized and characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, electron energy loss spectroscopy, Mößbauer spectroscopy and magnetometry. The magnetic properties, of such two-phase particles are interesting because their core is antiferromagnetic or paramagnetic (at very small values of x) whereas the shell is ferrimagnetic. The size of the particles was in the range of several nanometers. ⁵⁷Fe Mößbauer spectroscopy revealed a blocking temperature of about 100 K above which the particles are superparamagnetic. Towards lower temperatures, the magnetic characteristics showed an increase of magnetic rigidity. The saturation magnetization increases by a factor of 1.4 between room temperature and 5 K.
