Abstract

Surfactant-coated spherical iron-based nanoparticles 3.0–9.5 nm in diameter were synthesized and dispersed in hexane. TEM images of dried particle assemblies were taken and analyzed to discover the structure of the assemblies, and to establish the relationship between particle concentration, surfactant type, and conditions of drying and array structure.
