A defect‐free magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) 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.
