Paper reports the results of X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and the Mössbauer spectroscopy of metal-insulator films sintered in Ar+O atmosphere evidencing the difference in oxidation of FeCoZr nanoparticles embedded into Al2O3 and Pb(ZrTi)O3 matrixes. It is proved that Al2O3 matrix with high resistance to oxidation favors the formation of nanoparticles with "metal core-oxide shell" structure, while fully oxidized nanoparticles are observed inside Pb(ZrTi)O3 matrix.
