“…Soft magnetic nanoparticles (SMNs) represent an important field in materials science and engineering, since they exhibit unique and interesting characteristics that provide promising applications [ 1 ]. Typically, SMNs include ferrites, Fe–Ni, Fe–Si, Fe–Al, and Fe–Co based alloys, which have been studied intensively in recent years [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Fe–Co nanoparticles show high saturation magnetization and Curie temperature values, allowing the development of numerous applications, such as hyperthermia magnetic treatment [ 2 ] or thermoablative cancer therapy [ 3 ], magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast [ 4 , 5 ] (currently the most commonly used gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid - Gd–DTPA [ 6 ]), high-density data storage [ 1 , 7 ], advanced materials for microwave devices [ 8 ], exchange-spring permanent magnets [ 1 , 9 ], and new generation of magnetorheological fluids [ 10 ].…”
