Synthesis of monodisperse iron oxide nanocrystals by thermal decomposition of iron carboxylate salts

William W. Yu, Joshua C. Falkner, Cafer T. Yavuz and Vicki L. Colvin


Iron oxide (Fe3O4, magnetite) nanocrystals of 6 to 30 nm with narrow size distributions (= 5–10%) were prepared by the pyrolysis of iron carboxylate salts.
