High quality self-assembly magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) chain-like core-shell nanowires with luminescence synthesized by a facile one-pot hydrothermal process.

Large scale synthesis of uniform self-assembly Fe(3)O(4)@phenol formaldehyde resin (PFR) core-shell nanowires with 80-100 nm in diameter and 20-30 microm in length can be realized by a one-pot hydrothermal process. The optical and magnetic properties of the as-synthesized Fe(3)O(4) nanostructures have been investigated.
