We demonstrate that 1D chain-like Fe3O4/ZnS nanocomposites with core shell structure can be well synthesized by a facile seed mediated growth method, which employs double coating process to enhance the surface activity of Fe3O4 chains for the formation of crystalline ZnS layer. Morphology and structure characterizations reveal the well-defined phases and direct coating of crystalline ZnS shell on Fe3O4 core, in spite of their large lattice mismatch. The composites show large saturation magnetization and good fluorescence properties, which might pave the way for their applications in semiconductor spintronics.
