  • Abstract
    The transport properties of both epitaxial Fe3O4 thin films and nanowires grown on α-Al2O3 (0001) substrates using molecular beam epitaxy were investigated. The latter allows one to confine the APBs or tunnel junctions in a one-dimensional nanowire, which reduces substantially the number of boundaries, or junctions. The bias-dependence of conductance and magnetoresistance suggests that the electron transport of Fe3O4 nanowires is well represented by a series of tunnel junctions.
