Abstract
Cobalt nanocubes with an average edge length of 50 nm and the epsilon crystalline structure were synthesized via thermo-decomposition in 1,2-dichlorobenzene at 120 oC in the presence of the surfactants. These nanocubes form dipolar chains upon drying in zero applied field and three-dimensional chains along the applied magnetic field direction. The magnetic measurements reveal strong inter-particle couplings among the nanocubes in their dried magnetic-field induced assemblies. The constricted hysteresis loops and near-zero coercivity indicate the existence of vortex states in the assemblies. Exposure to electron beam heats up the nanocubes and turns the dipolar chains into nanowires.Citation
