Nanocrystalline Co-Ni alloys with different compositions were prepared by polyol reduction of mixed cobalt nickel hydroxides. The precursors (mixed cobalt nickel hydroxides) were prepared by co-precipitation. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis indicated the formation of fcc phase in the alloys and their crystallite size in the range 17-25 nm. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy studies revealed the morphology of the particles as being close to spherical, and the energy dispersive X-ray analysis showed the stoichiometry of the alloys. The magnetization as a function of field and temperature of the alloys, measured using a superconducting quantum interference device, showed superparamagnetic behavior with negligible coercivity and remanence values.
