Fe/Ni Cluster Hybrid Material Produced by Double Glow Discharge Sources

Fe and Ni clusters have been simultaneously deposited on substrates using an improved plasma-gas-condensation cluster depositionapparatus, and investigated by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and magnetometry.
