Abstract

The synthesis of composite magnetic nanomaterials has received increasing attention due to their electronic, magnetic, catalytic, and chemical or biological sensing properties. We have prepared cobalt ferrite–zinc sulfide nanocomposites by a chemical route. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and photoluminescence spectrometer (PL). The fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles (FMNPs) had a typical diameter of 30±5 nm and saturation magnetization of 5.8 emu g-1 at room temperature. So, these FMNPs may be potentially applied in different fields such as optoelectronic devices, biolabeling, imaging, drug targeting, bioseparation, magnetic fluid hyperthermia, etc.
