This article is published with open access at Abstract We report a rational synthesis of maghemite y-Fe2O3 short-nanotubes SNTs by a convenient hydrothermal method and subsequent annealing process. The structure shape and magnetic properties of the SNTs were investigated. Room-temperature and low-temperature magnetic measurements show that the as-fabricated y-Fe2O3 SNTs are ferromagnetic and its coercivity is nonzero when the temperature above blocking temperature TB . The hysteresis loop was operated to show that the magnetic properties of y-Fe2O3 SNTs are strongly influenced by the morphology of the crystal. The unique magnetic behaviors were interpreted by the competition of the demagnetization energy of quasi-one-dimensional nanostructures and the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy of particles in SNTs.
