ABSTRACTSonoelectrochemistry, or pulsed electrodeposition at high current density in presence of high intensity ultrasound, is used to produce magnetic powders with a mean diameter in the range of 100 nm. Pure iron, cobalt and nickel powders are produced together with their binary and ternary alloys. The powders are crystalline and homogeneous as observed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction and X-ray fluorescence. The compositions of the binary and ternary alloy powders reproduce strictly the iron, nickel and cobalt compositions of the starting electrolytes except for the nickel-cobalt alloys.
