Highly crystalline anisotropic superstructures via magnetic field induced nanoparticle assembly

Jong-Il Park, Young-wook Jun, Jin-sil Choi and Jinwoo Cheon


A magnetic field is successfully utilized to induce the fabrication of size controllable one-dimensional (1-D) supercrystals which are composed of a highly crystalline assembly of fcc-packed cobalt nanoparticles; the anisotropy associated supercrystal magnetism is enhanced with four times higher coercivity than that of randomly aggregated nanoparticles.
