title: High-magnetic-moment nanoparticles for biomedicine.
abstract: Magnetic nanoparticles play an important role in biomedical applications, such as MR imaging, drug delivery and hyperthermia. Nanoparticles made of high-moment materials like Fe-Co and Fe have become active in the field due to superior performance. Protected by a biocompatible shell (Au/Ag/Si/C), high-moment nanoparticles can retain their magnetic property over a long time and disperse well. By using a physical gas condensation technique, such high-moment nanoparticles and core-shell structured nanoparticles can be made and used for biomedicine.
