Novel synthesis of magnetic Fe(2)P nanorods from thermal decomposition of continuously delivered precursors using a syringe pump.

One-dimensional (1D) nanostructured materials, such as nanorods, nanowires, and nanotubes, have received tremendous attention because of their unique properties, which are derived from their low dimensionality and possible quantum confinement effects. These 1D nanostructured materials have found application as the interconnects and functional blocks used in fabricating nanoscale electronic, magnetic, and optical devices. The synthesis of nanostructured magnetic
