Abstract
The authors have successfully grown Fe2CrAl nanowires on polished Si/SiO2 substrates using the electrospinning method. The diameter of nanowires varies from 50 to 300 nm. These nanowires exhibit a cubic crystal structure with lattice disorder. The nanowires are ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature greater than 400 K, much higher than that the bulk reported value. This higher Curie temperature is attributable to disordering in lattice sites, which causes an enhanced exchange interaction between pairs of iron atoms.
