Annotation The features the phase transitions and phase composition of the metal-carbon nanocomposites FeCo / C were studied by Mossbauer spectroscopy. Nanocomposites were synthesized in the temperature range of T = 300-800 °C. It was shown that the samples synthesized at T = 300 °C contains of superparamagnetic nanoparticles of magnetite and amorphous oxide of iron only. The process of forming nanoparticles of alloy FeCo occurs within the temperature range 500-600 ° C due to the recovery of amorphous iron oxide and magnetite as well as them dissolving in a phase of cobalt. The growth of size of nanoparticles of alloy by agglomeration and dissolution of iron in the alloy nanoparticles occurs only at the temperature range of synthesis 600-800 ° C. This is confirmed by a decrease of the content of Fe, which associated with carbon and it is consistent with the results of phase and structural studies, carried out in previous works.
