Ni nanoparticles were prepared via thermal decomposition of nickel acetate tetrahydrate in the presence of long-chain amines, which acted as both solvents and reducing agents. By tuning the reaction temperature, Ni nanostructures with either hcp of fcc crystal structure were obtained. In principle, higher temperatures favored the formation of hcp nanoparticles. The employment of additional surfactants such as 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid and trioctylphosine-oxide facilitated the tuning of the particle's growth limit. The size of the particles varied between 5 and 120 nm. The magnetic features of fcc-Ni nanoparticles were quite similar to the corresponding 'bulk' ones. On the otherhand, the hcp-Ni particles showed weak magnetic features, reflected by low magnetization values, the absence of saturation magnetization and by blocking temperatures for below room temperature.
