Chain-like nickel arrays assembled from magnetic Ni spheres were successfully prepared through a facile hydrothermal process at 200°C under a 0.25 T external magnetic field. The external magnetic field is strongly believed to be the driving force of the self-assembly. The sample was highly crystalline as confirmed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) images show that all Ni spheres are closely interconnected to form chains, with ~ 950 nm in diameter and ~ 1 cm in length, which arrange into vertical arrays on the silicon substrate. The coercivity and remnant magnetization ratio of the sample, 670 Oe and 0.612, respectively, are substantially higher than for the sample prepared without an applied external magnetic field (68 Oe and 0.336). Such enhancements can be attributed to their novel superstructure, shape anisotropy, reduced demagnetization factor, etc. This process can be used to fabricate large arrays of uniform chains of magnetic materials and modulate their magnetic properties.

Abstract The preparation of thermochromic vanadium dioxide (VO2) films in an economical way is of interest to realizing the application of smart windows. Here, we reported a successful preparation of self-assembly VO2 nanoplate films on TiO2-buffered glass by a facile hydrothermal process. The VO2 films composed of triangle-shaped plates standing on substrates exhibit a self-generated porous structure, which favors the transmission of solar light. The porosity of films is easily controlled by changing the concentration of precursor solutions. Excellent thermochromic properties are observed with visible light transmittance as high as 70.3% and solar modulating efficiency up to 9.3% in a VO2 film with porosity of ~35.9%. This work demonstrates a promising technique to promote the commercial utilization of VO2 in smart windows.

The organization of nanostructures across extended length scales is a key challenge in the design of integrated materials with advanced functions. PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3multilayer disks which were constructed by oriented rectangle nanoparticles were easily prepared by a simple surfactant-free hydrothermal process. The as-prepared powders were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the as-prepared PZT disks were constructed by self-assembly of rectangle nanoparticles by a perfect manner. The formation mechanism of the products was discussed.
