Unusual magnetic behavior of α‐Fe 2 O 3 : Rice‐ (a) and cube‐shaped (b) single‐crystalline α‐Fe 2 O 3 nanostructures (see microstructure images) are obtained by a new hydrothermal reaction route. Different magnetic anisotropies are observed for the rice‐ and cube‐shaped α‐Fe 2 O 3 nanocrystals. This behavior offers possibilities for technological applications of α‐Fe 2 O 3 with magnetic properties tailored by shape‐controlled synthesis.
