Abstract: The monodisperse magnetic cobalt nanocrystals(NCs) of 7 nm in diameter were prepared by using high temperature solution phase reducing method. The UV-Vis spectrum showed that the cobalt NCs was stable. The structure of the cobalt NCs were determined by XRD. The results showed that each of the cobalt nanoparticles is a single crystal with a complex cubic structure relating to the β phase of manganese. The XPS spectra indicate that the surface of Co nanoparticles was not oxidized or formed other compound. Two-dimensional order superlattices of the Co nanoparticles were formed by self-assembly technique.

Key words: Cobalt nanocrystals, High temperature solution phase reduction method, Self-assembly, Superlattice
