title: Synthesis and characterization of 3D CoPt nanostructures.
abstract: Cobalt platinum polypod-like nanostructures were synthesized by thermolytic reduction of Pt(acac)2 and Co(CH3COO)2 in oleylamine at 250 degrees C. The as-made CoPt nanopolypods are ferromagnetic, are soluble in nonpolar organic solvents, and reveal a coercive field of 525 and 1200 Oe at room temperature and 5 K, respectively.
