title: Magnetic nanochains of metal formed by assembly of small nanoparticles.
abstract: Ni nanochains are synthesized with diameters of 150-250 nm and lengths of 0.5-2 microm by assembly of small nanoparticles, which exhibit a magnetic coercivity over two orders of magnitude larger than that of bulk Ni.
