Flux closure in two-dimensional magnetite nanoparticle assemblies

Two and Three Dimensional Monte Carlo Simulation of Magnetite Nanoparticle Based Ferrofluids

We have simulated a magnetite nanoparticle based ferrofluid using Monte Carlo method. Two and three dimensional Monte Carlo simulations have been done using parallel computing technique. The aggregation and rearrangement of nanoparticles embedded in a liquid carrier have been studied in various particle volume fractions. Our simulation results are in complete agreement with the reported experim...

Self-Assembly of Flux-Closure Polygons from Magnetite Nanocubes.

Well-defined nanoscale flux-closure polygons (nanogons) have been fabricated on hydrophilic surfaces from the face-to-face self-assembly of magnetite nanocubes. Uniform ferrimagnetic magnetite nanocubes (∼86 nm) were synthesized and characterized with a combination of electron microscopy, diffraction, and magnetization measurements. The nanocubes were subsequently cast onto hydrophilic substrat...

Dipolar Magnetism in Ordered and Disordered Low-Dimensional Nanoparticle Assemblies

Magnetostatic (dipolar) interactions between nanoparticles promise to open new ways to design nanocrystalline magnetic materials and devices if the collective magnetic properties can be controlled at the nanoparticle level. Magnetic dipolar interactions are sufficiently strong to sustain magnetic order at ambient temperature in assemblies of closely-spaced nanoparticles with magnetic moments of...

In Situ Generation of Two-Dimensional Au–Pt Core–Shell Nanoparticle Assemblies

Two-dimensional assemblies of Au-Pt bimetallic nanoparticles are generated in situ on polyethyleneimmine (PEI) silane functionalized silicon and indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass surfaces. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), UV-Visible spectroscopy, and electrochemical measurements reveal the formation of core-shell structure with Au as core and Pt as shell. The core-shell structure is further sup...
