Abstract

Nolanite Fe(2.5)V(1.5)V(5.6)O(16) nanocrystals have been successfully achieved by a facile solvothermal method for the first time. The magnetic semiconducting and semiconductor-insulator transition characters of the synthetic nolanite sample render it a promising candidate for the design of data storage devices and temperature-sensitive sensors.
