  1. Magnetic & Optical Properties of Fe-Doped Titania NanotubesLaura H. Lewis, Northeastern University, DMR 0906608 Iron-incorporated titania nanotubes hold potential as novel multifunc-tional materials with simultaneous magnetic, semiconducting and catalytic properties1. It is antici-pated that these dilute magnetic semiconductors may exhibit enhanced magnetocatalytic activity. Fe-containing titania nanotubes have been successfully fabricated by anodization of Ti(Fe) films pro-duced by co-sputtering (Figs 1 – 3). Very low levels of ferromagnetism in the nanostructures have been verified (Fig. 4). Analysis of the Fe incorporation form (structural or precipitate) is underway. Fig. 1.
