Abstract
The magnetic properties of iron nanoparticles partially encapsulated at the tips of aligned carbon nanotubes have been studied. The carbon nanotube wall not only protects the metallic particles from oxidization, but also reduces the inter-particle dipolar interaction by non-magnetic separation. Magnetic characterizations performed in the temperature range of 5-350 K with magnetic field up to 3 T show that these carbon-nanotube-supported iron particles are good candidates for high-density magnetic recording media.
