Abstract
Synthesis of dendrite shaped Ag-Fe alloy nanomaterial by pulsed electrodeposition route was investigated. The alloy samples were deposited at different current densities from electrolytes of different compositions to study the influence of current density and bath composition on metal contents in the alloy, which was determined by ICP-OES analysis. The XRD studies were carried out to determine the structure of these samples. Magnetic characterization at room temperature and during heating was carried out to understand their magnetic behaviour and to confirm the inferences drawn from the XRD results. The XPS spectra proved the presence of Fe and Ag in the metallic form in the alloy samples. The FESEM and TEM micrographs were taken to view the surface morphology of the nanosized particles.
