Magnetic nanocomposites of Sm(Co(1-x)Fex)(5)/Fe3O4 (x approximate to 0.1) with the core/shell type structure were successfully fabricated using a two-step polyol process, where as-prepared SmCo5(1-x) nanoparticles were used as seeds for the ferrite coating. The core/shell composites are quite stable in air and show a typical hysteric behavior of single component, yielding an enhanced coercivity of 2.2 kOe with a saturated magnetization of 130 emu/g at 5 T. The magnetization data clearly reveal the presence of effective exchange coupling between the hard-magnetic Sm(Co1-xFex)(5) core and soft-magnetic Fe3O4 shell, suggestive of a single-phase structure rather than a distinctive two-phase one.
