The crystallization behavior of noncrystalline Ni--P nanoparticles prepared by a liquid-phase pulsed-discharge method was studied through XRD, HRTEM, and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra from both Ni K-edge and P K-edge. A competitive growth between Ni3P and Ni crystalline phases was found. The main phases within the particles are crystalline Ni3P and Ni, while the metastable phase Ni5(P, Ni)2 is presented as a coated shell outside the particles. The appearance of feature D in the P K-edge XANES spectrum could be used as a characteristic for the formation of long-range ordered Ni3P. The standard deviation (ΔR/R) of the fitting P--Ni bond length from the theoretical value of a Ni3P crystal could be used to define the crystallization process. Although the nanoparticles were observed as XRD amorphous at 250 °C, their magnetic properties can be attributed to the formation of FCC-Ni clusters. A crystallization mechanism has been proposed to describe the crystallization process of the as-prepared noncrystalline Ni--P nanoparticles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
