Magnetic nanostructures hold the potential for numerous applications, e.g., in magnetic data storage, logic devices, sensors or bio-medical applications. In particular, magnetic nanoparticles are in the focus of huge interest, because they could serve as building blocks for future high-density data storage media and spintronics. We report on self-assembled Iron oxide nanoparticle films on silicon substrates. Furthermore, using electron beam lithography we fabricate patterned trenches of 40-1000nm width for assisted self-assembly. The nanoparticles with a diameter of 20 nm +/- 1.6 nm were synthesized by thermal decomposition of iron oleate complexes in trioctylamine in presence of oleic acid. Samples with different track widths and nanoparticle concentration have been characterized by magnetometry, X-ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscopy.
