The magnetic characteristics of a dense magnetic nanoparticle system and a spin glass system consisting of magnetic nanoclusters are compared. Zero field cooled and field cooled magnetization measurements, including aging and memory experiments, of the nanoparticle and the magnetic cluster systems show similar characteristics, suggesting a common origin for the spin glass-type behavior of the magnetic nanoparticle and nanocluster systems.

Single phase nanocrystalline lithium ferrite is synthesized by a modified citrate gel precursor technique. Ferrite nanoparticles of average size of 8 nm, obtained after calcination of the citrate gel Made by the usual method at 450 degrees C, show superparamagnetic behavior. However, small amounts of alpha-Fe(2)O(3) is formed as an impurity phase clue to the initial formation of some gamma-Fe(2)O(3) phase. Oil the other hand, when the pH of the mixed Solution is increased to 7 after the addition of ammonia Solution, a lower calcination temperature of 200 degrees C is sufficient for the formation of single phase lithium ferrite nanoparticles of size 30 nm. No impurity phases are detected when the nanocrystalline powders arc calcined at higher temperatures. The magnetic properties of the ferrite nanoparticles of different sizes obtained by calcining the powders at different temperatures are studied. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Nanocrystalline Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 powders, synthesized by a combustion method are investigated by X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry and Mossbauer spectroscopic techniques. We adopt a strategy to systematically control the particle sizes between 4 and 45 nm simply by changing the elemental stoichiometric coefficient, Phi(e), of the combustion mixture. Curie temperature of the superparamagnetic particles of size 4 nm is higher than that of the bulk particles. Interestingly, bigger particles (45 nm) show a comparable room temperature saturation magnetization and exceptionally very high Curie temperature of 833 K, when compared to that of the bulk Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 material (563 K).

Monodispersed, superparamagnetic nickel cobaltite (NCO) nanoparticles were functionalized using mercaptopropionic acid (MPA). MPA conjugates with NCO forming a metal-carboxylate linkage, with the MPA-MPA interaction occurring via formation of disulfide bonds, leaving another carboxyl end free for additional conjugation. The cytotoxicity studies on NCO-MPA show cell viability of similar to 100% up to a dosage of 40 mu g/mL on SiHa, MCF7, and B16F10 cell lines, and on mouse primary fibroblasts. Time-dependent cell viability studies done for a duration of 72 hours showed the cell lines' viability up to 80% for dosages as high as 80 mu g/mL. Negligible leaching (<5 ppm) of ionic Co or Ni was noted into the delivery medium. Upon subjecting the NCO-MPA dispersion (0.1 mg/mL) to radiofrequency absorption, the nanoparticles were heated to 75 degrees C within 2 minutes, suggesting its promise as a magnetic hyperthermia agent. Furthermore, the amino acid lysine and the drug cephalexin were successfully adducted to the NCO system, suggesting its potential for drug delivery. From the Clinical Editor: NCO-MPA nanopartciles were found to be promising magnetic hyperthermia agents, suggesting potential future clinical applications. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

In the present investigation, we report a detailed examination of the effect of off-stoichiometry introduced in NiCo2O4 by adding excess cobalt. Thus, we compare and analyze the structural and magnetic properties of the Ni075Co2.25O4 and NiCo2O4 cubic systems. A low temperature combustion method was utilized to synthesize stoichiometric (NiCo2O4) and off-stoichiometric (Ni0.75Co2.25O4) nanoparticles on a large scale. The X-ray diffraction pattern for the sample annealed at high temperature (773 K) shows the presence of a much less intense NiO phase (similar to 2-5%) in Ni0.75Co2.25O4 as compared to that in the case of NiCo2O4 sample (similar to 15-20%). The Ni 2p and Co 2p XPS spectra reveal the coexistence of Ni2+, Ni3+, Co2+, and Co3+ species on the surface of both the NiCo2O4 and Ni0.75Co2.23O4 samples in differing proportions. In addition to the basic magnetic characterizations using PPMS, these were also analyzed by neutron diffraction. The off-stoichiometric Ni0.75Co2.25O4 sample shows an interesting magnetic phase conversion from frustrated dipolar system to an enhanced magnetic ordering upon annealing. Local moments on the lattice sites of NiCo2O4 and Ni0.75Co2.25O4 samples are further compared by neutron diffraction confirming stronger ordered moments and enhanced structural and thermal stability for the Ni0.75Co2.25O4 sample.
