Description
Summary:The article presents information on single crystalline magnetite nanotubes. Inorganic tubular macrostructure have stimulated extensive research efforts because of their prospective applications in diverse areas including ion transport, bioseparation, drug delivery, ink-jet and electrochemical energy production. Magnetic nanotubes in particular, may potentially serve as tunable fluidic channels for tiny magnetic particles, data storage devices in nanocircuits, and scanning tips for magnetic force microscopes. Material characterization and fundamental transport studies have been presented in this article.
