Iron oxide (e.g., Fe3O4 or γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles are promising candidates for a variety of biomedical applications ranging from magnetic hyperthermia therapy to drug delivery and biodetection due their superparamagnetism, nontoxicity, biodegradability. While particles small size (below critical size, ∼20 nm) display superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature, these tend penetrate highly sensitive areas the body such as blood–brain barrier, leading undesired effects. In addition, possess...

Magnetic nanoparticles are extensively utilized as markers/signal labelling in various biomedical applications. Detecting and distinguishing magnetic signals from similarly sized moving microfluidic systems is crucial yet challenging for biosensing. In this study, we have developed an original method to detect differentiate superparamagnetic (SPM) ferrimagnetic (FM) of comparable sizes. Our approach utilizes a highly sensitive magnetic-coil-based sensor that harnesses the combined effects...

Nickel-zinc ferrite (NZF) compounds, renowned for their mixed spinel structures, hold significant promise diverse applications in high-frequency devices and biomedicine. This study utilizes solvothermal synthesis to produce NZF nanoparticles (NPs) with tunable diameters ranging from 40 300 nm. These NPs exhibit polycrystalline crystallite sizes tailored be approximately 8 nm, a pivotal factor preserving superparamagnetic (SPM) properties across broad size spectrum. A combination of scanning...

We report a systematic investigation of the magnetic properties including exchange bias (EB) effect in an iron oxide nanocube system with tunable phase and average size (10, 15, 24, 34, 43 nm). X-ray diffraction Raman spectroscopy reveal presence Fe3O4, FeO, andα-Fe2O3phases nanocubes, which volume fraction each varies depending upon particle size. While Fe3O4phase is dominant all tends to grow increasing size, FeO appears coexist 10, 24 nm nanocubes but disappears 34 nanocubes. The exposed...

Ionic engineering is exploited to substitute Bi cations in BiFe0.95Mn0.05O3 NPs (BFM) with rare-earth (RE) elements (Nd, Gd, and Dy). The sol-gel synthesized RE-NPs are tested for their magnetic hyperthermia potential. RE-dopants alter the morphology of BFM from elliptical rectangular irregular hexagonal Nd, Dy doping, respectively. RE-BFM ferroelectric show larger piezoresponse than pristine BFO NPs. There an increase maximum magnetization at 300 K up 550% by introducing Gd. In tests, 3...
