A liquid composition includes copper particles, an organic acid, and a solvent. The copper particle has a particle size of 0.5 μm˜30 μm which falls in a micron scale. The liquid composition performs reaction sintering by redox reactions taken place between the copper particles and an organic acid solution at a low temperature of 150° C. in order to produce a dense copper layer and improve the conventional micron-scale copper particles that requires a protective atmosphere for the high-temperature sintering before achieving the required densification. This liquid composition also prevents an excessive oxidation of the nano copper particles during the low-temperature sintering process and a failure of the dense sintering. Due to the agglomeration of nano copper particles, some areas have to be sintered first, so that the sintered products have a good uniformity of tissue and a low resistance below 0.04 ohm per square (Ω/□).

A one-pot microwave synthesis of FePt@Co allows systematic growth of the soft-magnet Co shell (0.6 nm to 2.7 nm thick) around the hard-magnet FePtcore (5 nm in diameter). Controlled growth leads to a four-fold enhancement in energy product of the core-shell assembly as compared to the energy product of bare FePtcores. The simultaneous enhancement of coercivity and saturation moment reflects the onset of theoretically predicted exchange spring behavior. The demonstration of nanoscale exchange-spring magnets will result in improved high-performance magnet design for energy applications. 1.

A method for producing a substantially spherical metal powder is described. A particulate source metal includes a primary particulate and has an average starting particle size. The particulate source metal is optionally ball milled and mixed with a binder in a solvent to form a slurry. The slurry is granulated to form substantially spherical granules, wherein each granule comprises an agglomeration of particulate source metal in the binder. The granules are debinded at a debinding temperature to remove the binder from the granules forming debinded granules. The debinded granules are at least partially sintered at a sintering temperature such that particles within each granule fuse together to form partially or fully sintered solid granules. The granules can then be optionally recovered to form a substantially spherical metal powder.
