Improved Dispersibility of Nanosized Iron Oxide Red Particles
What is Iron oxide?Iron oxide films can show very different stoichiometries due to the flexibility of their Fe oxidation state (Fe2 +/Fe3 +). This flexibility is accompanied by the formation of various single-crystalline phases (e.g., hematite, magnetite, maghemite, and wüstite) with different chemical and physical properties. Therefore, iron oxide films are of interest in different fields as heterogeneous catalysis or spintronics and a deeper understanding of the epitaxy of iron oxide films are
