Magnetic nanoparticle assemblies form a novel type of artificial material with properties that are not found in nature. We have succeeded in fabricating large 3D nanoparticle ‘macrocrystals’ using a novel centrifuge assisted sedimentation technique from commercially available spherical iron oxide nanoparticles. The assembly of macrocrystals up to 300-1000 µm in size was possible. Using small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) at the new in-house instrument ’GALAXI’ (Gallium Anode Low-Angle X-ray Instrument) the supercrystalline structure and quality of ordering could be characterized. The magnetic properties were investigated by a variety of magnetometric methods including zero field cooled and field cooled curves as well as AC susceptibility. For a microscopic investigation of the magnetic ordering, small angle neutron scattering (SANS) was employed at the neutron reflectometer MARIA (MAgnetic Reflectometer with high Incidence Angle) at the Heinz Meier-Leibnitz Zentrum.
