Fe68Pd32 nanoparticles were prepared by sonoelectrodeposition with subsequent annealing at 600 oC for a series of times from 1 h to 6 h. The annealing transformed disordered face-centered cubic (fcc) phase in the as-prepared samples into a multi-phase material containing an ordered L10 FePd, fcc FePd and body-centered cubic (bcc) Fe phases. |
