Abstract
In the present project two basic research lines are presented. The aim of the first one is related to the chemical synthesis of intermetallic nanoparticles A_{1-x}M_x, where A= Cu, Ag, Al, Pt, and M = Transition Metals 3d^n (M = Fe, Co, Mn) or Rare-Earths 4f^n (M = Gd, Nd, Er), varying the chemical composition and the mean particle size (2-15 nm). About the composition two extremes will b…
