Bioinspired 1D Superparamagnetic Magnetite Arrays with Magnetic Field Perception
Superparamagnetic magnetite nano particles can be assembled into 1D arrays by a capillary-bridge mediate assembly approach, inspired by the Earth's magnetic field perception in nature. These 1D arrays possess strict alignment, precise position and high aspect ratio, yielding highly anisotropic magnetization characteristic.
