title: Facile synthesis of urchin-like glass/nickel core/shell composite hollow spheres.
abstract: Novel urchin-like core/shell composite hollow spheres were fabricated by assembly of nickel nanocones on the surface of hollow glass spheres; the effects of some reaction parameters on the morphology of the shell layers and the room temperature magnetic properties of the products were investigated.
