Assembly of Nanoscale Building Blocks to control the Collective Magnetic Behavior through specific Interfaces The concept of a collective behavior of nanoparticles and hybrid nanoscale systems is transitioning from pioneering studies to “proof of concept” applications. We will go through several examples of nanocomposites synthesized by wet- chemistry methods that demonstrate the assembly of nanoscale building blocks to exert control over the final collective magnetic behavior. This assembly enhances the possible diversity of the ultimate functionalities of these complex nanomaterial systems, in view of the possible interfaces established. This fascinating approach of artificial nanostructuring permits to create completely new ever-progressing magnetic materials.
