The as-synthesized NPs were coated with a silica shell of 4 nm-5 nm in thickness, enabling the water- solubility and biocompatibility of the NPs. The MnFe204 NPs with a size of less than 18 nm exhibit superparamagnetic behavior with high saturated magnetization. The capacity of the heat production was enhanced by increasing particle sizes and radio frequency （RF） field strengths. MnFe204/SiO2 NPs with 18-nm magnetic cores showed the highest heat- generation ability under an RF field. These MnFe204/SiO2 NPs have great potentiality to cancer treatments, controlled drug releases, and remote controls of single cell functions.展开更多

The simple method developed in this work is effective for large scale synthesis of FeS/Fe nanoparticles with tunable shell/core structures, which can be obtained by controlling the atomic ratio of Fe to S. The structural, magnetic and photocatalytic properties of the nanoparticles were investigated systematically. The good photocatalytic performance originating from the FeS shell in degradation of methylene blue under visible light and the high saturation magnetization originating from the ferromagnetic Fe core make the FeS/Fe nanoparticles a good photocatalyst that can be collected and recycled easily with a magnet. An exchange bias up to tl mT induced in Fe by FeS was observed in the Fe/FeS nanoparticles with ferro/antiferromagnetic interfaces. The enhanced coercivi- ty up to 32 mT was ascribed to the size effect of Fe core.展开更多

The composite particles were characterized by the techniques, such as nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, X-ray diffraction patterns （XRD）, thermo-gravimetric analysis（TGA）, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FTIR） and vibrating sample magnetometer（VSM）, etc. The analysis showed that the resulted MSMNP composites were composed of silica shell layers with open pores connecting channels and NiFe204 with spinel structure, so the thermal treatment temperature did not show significant effect on pore textural properties, and its specific surface areas were in the range of 443-- 474 m2/g, while pore volume of about 0.8 cm3/g with an average pore size of around 9.5 nm. The composites with super paramagnetic nature were encapsulated entirely with amorphous silica layers contributing to optimum porosity and abundant surface hydroxyl groups.展开更多
