Self-Assembled Nanomagnets

  • Chapter

Abstract

This chapter reviews recent progress in the field of self-assembled nanomagnets. Emphasis is on the fabrication of self-assembled nanomagnets by solution-phase chemical approaches. After outlining the general concepts of self-assembly; we describe several common chemical procedures leading to monodisperse magnetic nanoparticles. Considered examples are Co, iron oxide and FePt nanoparticles. Our review also includes including the preparation of the assemblies, the particle-shape effect on self-assembled structures, interparticle spacing control in self-assembled nanoparticle superlattices, and the magnetic properties of these arrays. The last part of the chapter is devoted to potential applications of the magnetic nanoparticle arrays in information storage, tunneling devices, and permanent magnets.
