Carbon-encapsulated iron-cementite (Fe-Fe 3 C) nanoparticles, promising nanomaterials for medicine due to their valuable magnetic properties, were synthesized by a single-step solid-state pyrolysis of iron phthalocyanine. To obtain required magnetic characteristics of such nanoparticles by governing...
