Abstract

Cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (CFO) of around 9 nm were synthesized with the solvothermal method. The CFO particles were covered with a barium titanate (BTO) shell at a 1:1 CFO:BTO ratio, via a sol-gel synthesis, to form CFO@BTO nanocomposites. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) studies reveal the presence of only the expected CFO and BTO phases. Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy (SEM, TEM) images show the thorough covering with the BTO shell. Energy-Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) mapping was used to analyze the elemental composition of the nanocomposites. Magnetic characterization shows high saturation magnetization and low coercive field at 300 K, suitable for biomedical applications.
