The nanostructured Niclass="glyphImg imgLazyJSB">P materials were elaborated by bottom-up strategy.
Beside the nickel, a new phase of chemical formula Ni3P is formed during sintering.
The Vickers hardness of nanostructured Niclass="glyphImg imgLazyJSB">P depends on the size ratio DNi/DNi3P.
The densified Nickel-Phosphorous samples present a ferromagnetic behavior.
