Magnetic Field Patterning of Nickel Nanostructures using Precursor Ink

The presentation will focus on a method for creating aligned nickel (Ni) nanoparticles with unique and customizable structures on various substrates for electronic and magnetic applications. The ink can be printed in ambient conditions, and upon heating in the presence of a magnetic field, it forms aligned elemental Ni nanostructures over large areas. The use of templates or subsequent purification is not required. This technique is very flexible and allows the preparation of unique patterns to produce structures with enhanced anisotropic electrical, magnetic, and thermal properties.
