Abstract
Patterned monolayers and multilayers of FePt nanocrystals were printed onto substrates by first assembling nanocrystals on a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) trough and then lifting them onto prepatterned polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamps, followed by transfer printing onto the substrate. Patterned features, including micrometer-size circles, lines, and squares, could be printed using this approach. The magnetic properties of the printed nanocrystal films were also measured using magnetic force microscopy (MFM). Room-temperature MFM could detect a remanent (permanent) magnetization from multilayer (>3 nanocrystals thick) films of chemically ordered L1 0 FePt nanocrystals.
