Two nanopowders containing superpara-magnetic Fe3C particles, superpara-magnetic Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3 particles and carbon black phase were synthesised by the method of laser-induced homogeneous pyrolysis of gaseous precursors. Both were characterised by X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectrometry and standard magnetic measurements. The mean crystallite size of Fe3C was 3 nm for the first sample and 10 nm for the second sample. Mössbauer spectra measured at 27 K and zero-field cooled/field cooled curves measured down to 4 K are reported.
