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 work, we investigated synthesis, magnetic properties of silica coated metal ferrite, (cofe2o4)/sio2 and manganese doped cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (mnxco1-xfe2o4 with x= 0.02, 0.04 and 0.06)/sio2 for possible biomedical application. all the ferrites nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation method using fecl3.6h2o, cocl2.6h2o and mncl2.2h2o as precursors, and were silica coated ...

alzheimer's disease (ad) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by memory and cognitive dysfunction due to neuronal cell loss in higher brain centers. senile plaques containing amyloid β (aβ) are associated with this disease as well as a reduction in cholinergic neuron numbers. tacrine is a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor in clinical use to treat moderate forms of ad. chit...

Magnetic storage, specifically in hard drives has advanced significantly since the first disk drive built in 1956 [1]. Interestingly enough, most of the changes thus far have been realized by scaling the components of a disk drive [1]. In recent years, the superparamagnetic limit has been seen as a possible limit to the rapid increase in hard drive capacities. Antiferromagnetically coupled (AFC...

Development of nanometer-sized magnetic particles exhibiting a large coercive field (Hc) is in high demand for densification of magnetic recording. Herein, we report a single-nanosize (i.e., less than ten nanometers across) hard magnetic ferrite. This magnetic ferrite is composed of ε-Fe2O3, with a sufficiently high Hc value for magnetic recording systems and a remarkably high magnetic anisotro...

Morphological control of FePt nanoparticles has been systematically studied. By varying synthetic parameters including precursors, solvents, amount of surfactants, and heating rate of the solution, the particle size from 2 to 9 nm can be tuned with 1 nm accuracy. While most particles are spherical in shape, cubic particles can be obtained when particles are greater than 7 nm. Rod-shape nanopart...

By coupling two different magnetic materials inside a single composite nanoparticle, the shape of the magnetic hysteresis can be engineered to meet the requirements of specific applications. Sandwich-like composite nanoparticles composed of a hard-magnetic Ba-hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) platelet core in between two soft-magnetic spinel iron oxide maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) layers were synthesized using a ...

in this study, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (fe3o4) with the size range of 20-30 nm were prepared by the modified controlled chemical co-precipitation method from the solution of ferrous/ferric mixed salt-solution in alkaline medium. in this process polyethylene glycol was used as a surfactant to prevent the solution from agglomeration. the prepared magnetic nanoparticles were characterize...

fe3o4 nanostructures were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal reaction. the effect of various surfactants such as cationic and anionic on the morphology of the product was investigated. magnetic nanoparticles were added to poly styrene (ps) for preparation of magnetic nanocomposite. nanostructures were then characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and fo...

n-sodium acrylate-o-carboxymethyl chitosan [cmch-g-paa(na)] bound fe3o4 nanoparticles were developed as a novel magnetic nanoparticles with an ionic structure that can be potentially used in many fields. cmch-g-paa (na) was obtained by grafting of sodium polyacrylate on o-carboxymethyl chitosan, which is an amphiphilic polyelectrolyte with the biocompatibility and biodegradability properties. a...
