Water Dispersible Carbohydrate-Coated Ferrite Nanoparticles. Effect of Cobalt Doping in Magneto-Thermal Properties

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2019 Aug 1;19(8):5000-5007. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2019.16790.

Abstract

Water dispersible cobalt ferrite nanoparticles, CoxFe3-xO₄, of different size (4-10 nm) and various composition (0 ≤ x ≤ 1), functionalized with a rhamnose derivative were obtained and characterized by combining TEM, XRD and elemental analyses techniques. Magnetic properties of these systems were studied by SQUID magnetometry. A particular emphasis was given to the investigation of magnetocrystalline anisotropy and size effect on the heating abilities of the nanoparticles under the application of an alternating magnetic field.
