The magnetic properties of Fe_3−δO₄ nanoparticles for medical applications depend on the synthesis route influencing their defect structure, ligand shell and shape [1]. Optimisation of the magnetisation requires disentangling preparation-specific influences from intrinsic size effects. Fe_3−δO₄ nanoislands on SrTiO₃ are introduced as a ligand-free model system with defined structure and orientation to study the magnetic properties of iron oxide nanostructures. Characterisation by diffraction, grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering, neutron reflectivity and SQUID indicates the formation of crystalline, uniformly shaped nanoislands with a distinct magnetic shape anisotropy [2]. Our results form the basis for ongiong in situ studies probing interdependencies between composition, shape, defect structure and magnetisation of nanostructured iron oxides.
