Self-assembly of fractal magnetite-silica aggregates in a static magnetic field

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper examines the mechanism underlying the formation of linear and fractal aggregates of high-conductivity magnetic nanoparticles in a static magnetic field. A transition between dendritic and fractal structures in response to a change in magnetic field is investigated by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy.
