Abstract

Spherical particles of ferrite (intermediate between Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3) were grown on seed crystals (∼9 nm) via the green rust route in an aqueous solution added with sucrose, which promotes spherical growth. By highly dispersing the seed crystals in an HNO3 solution, we could control the diameter of the particles over a wide range of 20–200 nm (geometric standard deviation: 1.1–1.4) by changing the amount of the seed crystals. At the beginning of the seed growth, clusters of the seed crystals were resolved into smaller clusters, each composed of a few seed crystals.
