ABSTRACTFePtCu nanoparticles with varying composition were synthesized by chemical solution-phase reduction of platinum and copper reagents and thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl in the presence of oleic acid and oleyl amine stabilizers. As prepared the particles had fcc structure with an average diameter of 3.5 nm and were superparamagnetic. The particles were well dispersed in hydrocarbon solvents and could be self-assembled into two or three dimensions particles arrays with a variety of close-packing arrangements. Heat-treatment of the self-assembled films at temperatures above 550°C transformed the particles from the fcc to the L10 phase, giving in-plane coercivities as high as 9000 Oe. X-ray diffraction revealed that the Cu remained in the annealed FePtCu films and the presence of an extra peak, indicated a second phase was present. Consistent with one or more phases, the magnetic hysteresis curves could be decomposed into a hard component (Hc > 5,000 Oe) and a soft component (Hc < 2,000 Oe). Unlike our earlier results for Ag in FePt, adding Cu to FePt did not lower the temperature required for phase transformation from the fcc to the fct L10 phase.

Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy is used to observe subtleties in supramolecular structure during the self-assembly of polymers in solution. Lifetime distribution analysis of the fluorescence decay kinetics of the solvent-sensitive fluorescent probe 1-anilino-8-naphthalene sulfonic acid associated with the di-block copolymer poly(2-vinylpyridine)41–poly(ethylene oxide)204 (P2VP-PEO) as it self-assembles enabled identification of three microdomains, distinguishable on the basis of micropolarity. These microdomains can be assigned to different supramolecular substructures: the micelle corona (high polarity), the micelle core and the P2VP globule (both low polarity), and the core–corona interface and the globule–PEO junction (both intermediate polarity). Changes in the relative population distributions of these sub-structures as a function of P2VP-PEO pinpoint the onset of micellization corresponding to the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the copolymer, but indicate significant variation in supramolecular structure, including micelle formation, well below the CMC. This suggests that supramolecular self-assembly in polymeric systems has characteristics of a second order phase transition.
