Magnetic nanoparticles Tomi Kainuvaara Nanoparticles KE-31.5530 03.05.2011
General • Can be exploited in variety of applications • Magnetism is, to a large extent, a nanoscale phenomenon • Three different types • Ferrite(oxides) NPs are the most explored • Metallic NPs are phyrophoric and reactive to oxidizing agents • Metallic NPs with a shell: higher magnetization and higher stability
Coating • Uncoated MNPs have some limitations • Aggregation, biodegradation, iron oxide NPs get easily oxidized when exposed to air • Surface ligands and surfactants provide stabilizing organic shells • Polymer is the best material for drug delivery • Proteins, silanes and silica
Synthesis • For exampel co-precipitation, thermal decomposition, microemulsion, different gas phase methods, high pressure hydrothermal methods and sol-gel methods • Often fail to provide addition features • Scale-up, toxicity, safety, cost
Properties • Determined by all energy contributions • Critical size • Spin waves • Bloch’s law • Magnetization relaxes when the magnetic field is switched off • Spin-glass behavior, moment flip time • Coercivity
Iron oxides • Most popular magnetic nanoparticle formulations • Magnetite, maghemite and hematite • Magnetite exhibits the strongest magnetism of any tansition metal oxides. • Iron has strong magnetic moment due to four unpaired electrons in its 3d orbitals.
Applications • Data storage • Ferrofluids in sealing • Detection and treatment of cancer • Magnetic hyperthermia • Magnetite and maghemite are by far the most commonly employed materials for biomedical applications • Waste water treatment, catalysts, MRI
