Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles with positive surface ξ-potential were synthesized via a solvothermal route. After was mixed HAuCl4 and NaBH4, the reduced Au could be directly adsorbed onto of nanoparticles. The as-synthesized nanocomposites successfully applied to photothermal destruction cancer cells.
