1D Ferromagnetic Nanoparticle Arrays Using Block Copolymer Directed Self- Assembly

摘要

By using directed self-assembly of block copolymers, coupled 1D chains of ferromagnetic FePt nanoparticles are aligned within block copolymer (BCP) nanopatterns. This solution-phase polymer templating approach can produce patterned arrays of magnetic nanoparticles with critical dimensions below those of conventional lithography.
