Controlling phase formation in solids: rational synthesis of phase separated Co@Fe2O3 heteroparticles and CoFe2O4 nanoparticles

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Aug 21;47(31):8898-900. doi: 10.1039/c1cc13204k. Epub 2011 Jul 11.

Abstract

A wet chemical approach from organometallic reactants allowed the targeted synthesis of Co@Fe(2)O(3) heterodimer and CoFe(2)O(4) ferrite nanoparticles. They display magnetic properties that are useful for magnetic MRI detection.
