Magnetic properties of nickel carbide nanoparticles with enhanced coercivity

Rhombohedral nickel carbide (Ni3Cx, x=0.7, 1.2 and 1.5) nanoparticles (∼ 110 nm) with enhanced magnetic coercivity (HC up to 1.3 kOe) at temperature below the spin-glass freezing (Tf) have been demonstrated. The presence of spin-glass state, which is seen at ∼17 K, is evident by the field dependence...
