Description
A iron-oxide tree was precipitated from a synthesis of Gd-doped magnetite. The ferrimagnetic NPs precipitated from the aqueous media owing to their crystal size and single magnetic domain, self-assembling in large wires in a tree form. The pic was captured from above the vial, most of the supernatant was discarded revealing this macrostructure.
