Nano-magnetic material in the radula teeth of chiton Acanthochiton rubrolinestus Lischke

In this note, relationships among the components, structure distribution and easy magnetization direction, structure of magnetic domain of nano-magnetic material in the major mature lateral radula teeth of chiton A. rubrolinestus Lischke are probed by using the high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), the scanning electron microscope (SEM), the magnetic force microscope (MFM) and the super-conducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer from the point of view of magnetism to provide a basis for comprehending biologic function of the magnetic radula.
