Unique magnetic properties of single crystal γ-Fe2O3 nanowires synthesized by flame vapor deposition. 
Single crystal γ-Fe(2)O(3) nanowires with 40-60 nm diameters were grown for the first time by single-step atmospheric flame vapor deposition (FVD) with axial growth rates up to 5 μm/minute.  Because of their superior crystallinity, these FVD γ-Fe(2)O(3) nanowires are single magnetic domains with room temperature coercivities of 200 Oe and saturation magnetizations of 68 emu/g.
