FePt-nanoparticles have attracted considerable interest recently with respect to possible application potentials for future storage media. FePt-particles were synthesized chemically by thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl and reduction of platinum acetylacetonate. The spherical particles with a small diameter of 3.4 nm and a narrow size distribution are coated by oleic acid and oleylamine. Variation of the particle distance can be obtained by a ligand exchange process, substituting the oleic acid/oleylamine ligand shell by an octanoic acid/octylamine or an hexanoic acid/hexylamine ligand shell. The influence of the different ligand shells as well as of subsequent thermal annealing on the superpara- and ferromagnetic behaviour is studied by SQUID magnetometry.
