Magnetic nanoparticles fixed on the surface of detonation nanodiamond microgranules

Conglomerates formed out of aggregated nanodiamond particles have been successfully covered with magnetic Fe- and Co-containing nanoparticles by means of thermal destruction of metal-containing compounds in a hot mixture of mineral oil and detonation nanodiamond. Thus produced samples were characterized by TEM, XRD, and element analysis. Magnetic studies of the Co-containing samples have been performed.
