摘要
The rational design of complex nanostructures is of paramount importance to gain control over their chemical and physical properties.Recently,magnetic-plasmonic heterostructured nanocrystals have been recognized as key players in nanomedicine as multifunctional therapeutic-diagnostic tools and in catalysis.Here we show how the properties of gold-iron oxide heterostructured nanocrystals can be tuned by chemical doping of the magnetic subunit.The divalent cations in the iron oxide were substituted with cobalt and manganese to obtain a general formula Au-MFe2O4(M=Fe,Co,Mn).Magnetic properties of the heterostructures could be tuned,while maintaining well-defined plasmon resonance signatures,confirming the dual magnetic-plasmonic functional capability of these nanostructures.
