Magnetic composite nanoparticle of Au/γ-Fe2O3 was synthesized in an aqueous phase using gamma-ray. Connection between gold and γ-Fe2O3 was confirmed by the magnetic separation technique. TEM observation shows that 5-nm gold particles were dispersed on 20-nm γ-Fe2O3 particles. The nanoparticles adsorbed a water-soluble mercaptan, glutathione, and was manipulated by an external magnetic field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
