Understanding ordered structure in hematite nanowhiskers synthesized via thermal oxidation of iron-based substrates

Hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanowhiskers (NWs) with (001) basal faces synthesized via thermal oxidation of iron-based substrates are known to contain an ordered structure. The ordered structure has been identified to be related to oxygen vacancy ordering. However, the cause of its formation remains a mystery...
