Synthesis, characterization and applications of magnetite nanoparticles

Abstract

"In the past few years, the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles has received considerable attention due to their potential use in clinical applications. Since the properties of these nanoparticles depend strongly on their size, shape and crystallinity, there is a need for a general method to produce these particles with a controlled size, shape and crystal type. Of the many magnetic materials (Co, Ni, and Fe), the magnetite (Fe₃O₄) is least toxic and hence most promising for applications in medical diagnostics"--Abstract, page iv.
