SmCo hard magnetic nanoparticles prepared by surfactant
nanoparticles were separated by using centrifugal separation and controlling the settlingdown time of the nanoparticle solutions. It was found that the small size nanoparticles are oating in the heptane solvent even after a centrifugation of 3000 rotations per minute (rpm) (relative centrifugal force: 1600g) for 25 min. Therefore, the small nanoparticles can
