Synthesis and characterization of single crystal alpha-Fe2O3 nanobelts
Single crystal nanobelts of hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) with narrow width distribution centered at 230 nm and length up to several microns have been prepared in NaCl flux using a simple solid-state reaction. Characterizations show that the as-prepared nanobelts are single-crystalline.
