“…For these reasons, FePt nanoparticles have been intensively investigated for uses in biomedicine (magnetic hyperthermia [ 1 ], MRI imaging [ 2 ] and targeted drug delivery [ 3 ]) and in catalysis [ 4 ] as sensors [ 5 ] or biosensors [ 6 ]. Various chemical and physical synthesis methods, such as thermal decomposition using high-temperature boiling point solvents [ 7 ], polyol [ 8 ], microemulsions [ 9 ], microwave processing [ 10 ], sonochemistry [ 11 ], pulsed plasma in liquid [ 12 ], or inert gas condensation [ 13 ], have been used to obtain FePt nanoparticles with well-defined shape and controllable sizes. Various other reports deal with the specific link between synthesis methods and magnetic performances in a large range of magnetic materials [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ].…”
