A surfactant-assisted high energy ball milling technique to produce colloidal nanoparticles and nanocrystalline flakes in Mn–Al alloys

A surfactant assisted-high energy ball milling technique was employed to process Mn₅₄Al₄₆ alloy in the form of colloidal nanoparticles with non-magnetic nature and high-aspect ratio nanocrystalline flakes with interesting hard magnetic properties.
