Exchange bias in nanostructures

Magnetic fluid hyperthermia: focus on superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles.

Nanofabrication of magnetic storage media, where servo marks, discrete tracks or individual islands are defined, offer the prospect for improved performance and increased areal density. However, this increase in performance will require that new and additional processes be introduced into disk manufacturing. We review here the fundamental patterning and fabrication processes that have been proposed, along with their respective strengths and weaknesses and the potential advantages they may offer for magnetic recording. The increase in data density afforded by nanofabrication may have added significance as more conventional approaches to ever increasing density will encounter physical limitations set by the thermal stability of the recorded bits.

Nanofabricated and self-assembled magnetic structures as data storage media

Synthesis and magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles prepared by wet chemical route

Seeding and autocatalytic reduction of platinum salts in aqueous surfactant solution using ascorbic acid as the reductant leads to remarkable dendritic metal nanostructures. In micellar surfactant solutions, spherical dendritic metal nanostructures are obtained, and the smallest of these nanodendrites resemble assemblies of joined nanoparticles and the nanodendrites are single crystals. With liposomes as the template, dendritic platinum sheets in the form of thin circular disks or solid foamlike nanomaterials can be made. Synthetic control over the morphology of these nanodendrites, nanosheets, and nanostructured foams is realized by using a tin-porphyrin photocatalyst to conveniently and effectively produce a large initial population of catalytic growth centers. The concentration of seed particles determines the ultimate average size and uniformity of these novel two- and three-dimensional platinum nanostructures.
