X-ray diffraction results show that the NiFe nanoparticles are of face centered cubic structure. The addition of K2PtCl4 does not affect the composition of NiFe NPs but decreases the particle size remarkably. Both saturation magnetization and coercivity of the as-prepared NiFe nanoparticles decrease with decreasing particle size. Annealed at 280 \textdegreeC, however, the saturation magnetization of various sized NiFe nanoparticles increases drastically and approaches to the bulk for the 440 nm NiFe particles, and a maximum coercivity (270 Oe) happens at a critical size of 50 nm. The magnetic property dependency of these NiFe nanoparticles on annealing has been discussed by considering the surface chemistry.", }
