The structure of magnetic nanoparticles has a strong influence on the properties of these materials at present being considered for magnetic-storage applications. It is now shown that size and shape of magnetic nanoparticles such as CoPt affect the transition from an ordered to a disordered phase, highlighting the need to take morphology into account to understand the structural properties.
