One-nanometer-scale size-controlled synthesis of monodisperse magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles

Abstract

(Figure Presented) Accurate to size: Monodisperse magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with a continuous size spectrum of 6-13 nm have been synthesized by a procedure similar to seed-mediated growth and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (see picture) and magnetic measurements. This method yields monodisperse nanoparticles directly without a size-selection process. © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGA.
