ALLOY NANO-PARTICLE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF, AND MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM USING ALLOY NANO-PARTICLE

摘要

A method of producing alloy nanoparticles includes the steps of: adding a metallic salt, a reducing agent, a stabilizing ligand, and an organic iron complex to an organic solvent selected from the group consisting of 2-20C hydrocarbon, alcohol, ether, and ester in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain a reaction liquid; and stirring the reaction liquid while heating the reaction liquid to a predetermined temperature. The grain diameter of the alloy nanoparticle is controlled by regulating the amount of the stabilizing ligand.
