title: Controlled growth of monodisperse self-supported superparamagnetic nanostructures of spherical and rod-like CoFe2O4 nanocrystals.
abstract: Novel shape- and structural-controlled superparamagnetic nanostructures composed of self-supported spherical and rod-like CoFe(2)O(4) colloidal nanocrystals have been prepared by thermolysis of a stoichiometric Co(2+)Fe(2)(3+)-oleate complex in organic solution with periodic injection of hexane for controlling the nucleation, assembly, and growth of the nuclei.
