‘‘Single-’’ and ‘‘multi-core’’ FePt nanoparticles: from controlled synthesis via zwitterionic and silica bio-functionalization to MRI applications

The value of the magnetization has a strong influence on the performance of nanoparticles that act as the contrast agent material for MRI. In this article, we describe processing routes for the synthesis of FePt nanoparticles of different sizes, which, as a result, exhibit different magnetization values. ‘‘Single-core’’ FePt nanoparticles of different sizes (3–15 nm) were prepared via one-step or two-step synthesis, with the latter exhibiting twice the magnetization (m(1.5T) = 14.5 emu/g) of the nanoparticles formed via the one-step synthesis (m(1.5T)\8 emu/g).
