Magnetite in the radula teeth of chiton

Abstract:

Magnetite is the very important magnetic substance in nature, and there are many physicochemical method to artificially synthesize nano-manetite, while there are biosynthesis nano-magnetite existing in the living beings. In this paper, the pattern and synthesis process of nano-magnetite in the radula teeth of chiton are described, this can affords us good lessons to artificially synthesize unidimensional magnetic material.
