“…Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs), such as magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) and maghemite (γ-Fe 2 O 3 ), have been found and applied in a wide range of biomedical applications [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9], including magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic hyperthermia, cancer therapy, and drug delivery; they also find applications in catalysis [10,11,12] and in magnetic separation [13,14]. Among other metal nanoparticles, iron oxide nanoparticles have been more extensively studied in clinical practice [15].…”
