Abstract

Quantum-dot sized range generation 2 and 3 poly(propylene imine) dendrimer encapsulated NiFe nanoalloy have been successfully synthesised via the co-complexation route. The HRTEM micrograph for the nanoalloy showed an average size range of 1 to 4 nm; while energy dispersive spectroscopy confirmed the presence of Ni and Fe as the alloy. The dendrimer capped NiFe nanoalloy exhibited photoluminescence properties and FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of the dendrimer as the capping agent.
