US 12,674,239 B2 · Chiral magnetic nanocoil and synthesis methods thereof

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a technique for synthesizing chiral magnetic nanocoils using an electrodeposition technique, which can be used to fabricate magnetic nanosensors capable of generating an electric field by strongly reacting to an external magnetic field, such as Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction at the nanoscale, depending on the coil shape of the nanostructure. In accordance with one embodiment, a method of synthesizing a chiral magnetic nanocoil may include generating a primary particle composed of metal ions by applying an external electric field, binding a chiral molecule to a surface of the generated primary particle, and controlling an assembly direction of a next primary particle by the bound chiral molecule.
