We report the direct chemical synthesis of FeCo alloy particles using the mixture of FeCl2·4H2O, Co (Ac)2·4H2O (Ac: acetate) and NaOH in ethylene glycol, and then obtained FeCo alloy particles better dispersed by adding the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and also the size could be controlled by adding copper. The prepared nano-particles were characterized using FESEM, XRD and VSM. The mean diameter of these particles was varied in the range of sub- mi- crometer to nanometer with metal-ion concentration.
