Goethite Nanorods: Synthesis and Investigation of the Size Effect on Their Orientation within a Magnetic Field by SAXS

Goethite is a naturally anisotropic, antiferromagnetic iron oxide. Following its atomic structure, crystals grow into a fine needle shape that has interesting properties in a magnetic field. The needles align parallel to weak magnetic fields and perpendicular when subjected to high fields. We synthe...
