A defect-free magnetite (Fe3O4) film with a smooth surface has been prepared on a non-conductive glass substrate simply by immersing the substrate in an aqueous solution containing hydrous iron(III) nitrate and dimethylaminoborane at room temperature. The magnetite film is shown to have a spinel structure and to exhibit interesting magnetic properties.
