Abstract

We present the fabrication of micron-sized patterns of FePt thin films from Pt@Fe2O3 core-shell nanoparticles. In a typical procedure, Pt@Fe2O3 core-shell nanoparticles were spread and formed a Langmuir film using water as the subphase. This film was lifted onto polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamps with micron-sized patterns of lines, dots and wells, and transferred onto silicon wafers using microcontact printing (μ-CP). The patterns of Pt@Fe2O3 core-shell nanoparticles were converted into face-centered tetragonal phase FePt alloy at enhanced temperatures in the presence of 5% hydrogen. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer were used to characterize the patterns and the properties of the final FePt alloy films.
