Sumario: | [Image: see text] Nanoscale interconnects are an important component of molecular electronics. Here we use X-ray spectromicroscopy techniques as well as scanning probe methods to explore the self-assembled growth of insulated iron nanowires as a potential means of supplying an earth abundant solution. The intrinsic anisotropy of a TiO(2)(110) substrate directs the growth of micron length iron wires at elevated temperatures, with a strong metal–support interaction giving rise to ilmenite (FeTiO(3)) encapsulation. Iron nanoparticles that decorate the nanowires display magnetic properties that suggest other possible applications. |
