THE FORMATION OF NANOSIZED SPHERICAL PARTICLES BY SPUTTERING TARGET WITH PULSED PLASMA FLOWS

In the article, it is shown that spherical nanoparticles of iron and carbon compounds - iron carbide are formed by sputtering a graphite target with a pulsed plasma flow. The obtained data allow developing a new method for the synthesis of nanocomposites with desired properties for medicine, electronics, and other fields. The method used open up the possibility of controlled synthesis of multifunctional nanocomposites by varying parameters of the plasma flow. The practical significance of research on obtaining iron carbide nanoparticles with carbon shell is relevant in connection with their use in medicine. Since the particles contain an iron core, they can be controlled by a magnetic field, and the non-toxic carbon shell makes them safe for humans.
