“…19 The photochemical method through nanosecond pulsed laser (248 nm) ablation of iron powder (size < 60 mm) in liquids (methanol) media leads also to iron oxide nanowires. 20 Unlike the routes used in the above mentioned studies, in this paper we present an efficient path for preparation of amorphous iron oxide nanowires by one-step method of thermal decomposition using m3-oxo trinuclear iron(III) acetate as precursor, dodecylamine, oleic acid and trichloroacetic acid in an appropriate ratio. The composition, properties and behaviour of the nanowires were determined by spectral method (FTIR, SAXS, XRD, and Mössbauer), microscopy (TEM), thermal methods (TGA, DSC), POM and SQUID magnetometry in order to have a clear image of this material's properties for future possible uses.…”
