This book was released on 2007 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self Organization Magnetic Arrays (SOMA) made from self-assembled magnetic nanoparticles produced by solution phase chemical approaches have been considered as the most promising candidate for ultra-high density magnetic recording media with potential areal density beyond 1Tb/in2. This thesis is focused on the fabrication of CoPt and FePt-type nanoparticles by chemical synthesis for the application in magnetic recording media. The work in this thesis consists of three parts. Synthesis and characterization of CoPt and FePt nanoparticles were investigated.
