Abstract

Nanoparticles of YCo₂, YCo_3,and YCo₅ are produced by cluster-deposition and investigated bothstructurally and magnetically. The nanoparticles have sizes of less than 10 nm and aresuperparamagnetic at 300 K, irrespective of stoichiometry. As-produced nanoparticles exhibitdisordered structures with magnetic properties differing from those of the bulk particles.The temperature-dependent magnetization curves of the nanoparticles reveal blocking temperatures from 110 to 250 K, depending on stoichiometry. The magnetic anisotropy constant K₁ of disordered YCo₅ nanoparticles of 7.8 nm in size is 3.5 × 10⁶ ergs/cm³, higher than those of thedisordered YCo₂ (8.9 × 10⁵ ergs/cm³) and YCo₃ (1.0 × 10⁶ ergs/cm³) nanoparticles.
