摘要
Large-area α-Fe2O3 nanobelts were synthesized by heating the Fe film on silicon substrate in air, using a very simple hotplate technique. The morphologies, crystal structures, growth mechanism and magnetic properties of the nanobelts were investigated. The results showed that single-crystal α-Fe2O3 nanobelts grew perpendicularly to the substrate along [110] direction with a very sharp tip about 10-50 nm. The length of the nanobelts were from hundreds nanometers to several micrometers. A diffusion mechanism was responsible for the α-Fe2O3 nanostructure growth at relatively low temperatures. The Morin temperature TM and Néel temperature TN of α-Fe2O3 nanostructures were only 113 and 814 K, respectively, which were about 150 K lower than those for their bulk counterpart.
