Here we present a simple and controlled method for direct fabrication of ordered 2D arrays of magnetic rings. This method utilizes polystyrene-coated magnetite nanoparticles as a solution, and the magnetic rings are fabricated on patterned self-assembled monolayers by dewetting of the solution. Polystyrene-coated magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by atom-transfer radical polymerization, ...

The preparation of Fe3O4 from ferrous salt by air in alkaline aqueous solution at various temperatures was proposed. The synthetic magnetites have different particle size distributions. We studied the properties of the magnetite prepared by chemical methods compared with magnetotactic bacterial nanoparticles. The results show that crystallite size, morphology, and particle size distribution of ...

Magnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4) in nano form has been synthesized by a simple wet chemical method involving co-precipitation using salt and ammonium hydroxide as precipitating agents. Characterization of the nanoparticles were carried out XRD, FTIR, FESEM VSM techniques. Crystallite sizes determined from XRD data found to be between 6.8 12.6 nm with face center cubic crystal structures. The lattice...

In order to develop a low-cost electromagnetic interference shielding and especially absorbing cement materials. In the present study, the utilization of natural magnetite in cement matrix for this purpose was investigated. The dielectric, magnetic and electromagnetic wave absorbing properties of magnetite/cement composites were characterized in the frequency range of 2.6–3.95 GHz (S band). The...

Multifunctional composite nanoprobes consisting of iron oxide nanoparticles linked to silver and gold nanoparticles, Ag-Magnetite and Au-Magnetite, respectively, were introduced by endocytic uptake into cultured fibroblast cells. The cells containing the non-toxic nanoprobes were shown to be displaceable in an external magnetic field and can be manipulated in microfluidic channels. The distribu...

BACKGROUND Magnetic nanoparticles in a variable magnetic field are able to produce heat. This heat (42-45°C) has more selective effect on fast dividing cancer cells than normal tissues. METHODS In this work magnetite nanoparticles have been prepared via co-precipitation and phase identification was performed by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD). Magnetic parameters of the prepared nanoparticles ...

In this research, mercapto-silica coated magnetite (Fe3O4-SiO2-SH) has been prepared in aqueous solution through a simple approach so called a one-pot process. The Fe3O4-SiO2-SH was prepared in nitrogen condition by mixing magnetite, 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS), and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) solution extracted from rice hull ash, and adjusting the pH of 7.0 using hydrochloric acid....

Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we have analyzed magnetite (Fe3O4) crystals acid-extracted from carbonate globules in Martian meteorite ALH84001. We studied 594 magnetites from ALH84001 and grouped them into three populations on the basis of morphology: 389 were irregularly shaped, 164 were elongated prisms, and 41 were whisker-like. As a possible terrestrial analog for the ALH840...
