“…EB is an interfacial coupling effect between the F(i)M and AFM, which can lead to changes in the coercivity of the MNOs. These effects have been studied in Co/CoO formed by controlled oxidation; − Fe 3–d O 4 /CoO − and CoFe 2 O 3 /CoO produced by seed-mediated growth; and FeO/Fe 3 O 4 , − MnO/Mn 3 O 4 , CoO/Fe 3 O 4 , CoO/CoFe 2 O 4 , CoO/Co 1– x Zn x Fe 2 O 4 , and Co y Fe 1– y O/Co x Fe 3– x O 4 synthesized by a variety of colloidal methodologies. Despite some fundamental studies on these materials, no new technologies have emerged to utilize this type of exchange coupling in MNOs.…”
Temperature is a fundamental physical quantity important to the physical and biological sciences. Measurement of temperature within an optically inaccessible three-dimensional (3D) volume at microscale resolution is currently limited. Thermal magnetic particle imaging (T-MPI), a temperature variant of magnetic particle imaging (MPI), hopes to solve this deficiency. For this thermometry technique, magnetic nano-objects (MNOs) with strong temperature-dependent magnetization (thermosensitivity) around the temperature of interest are required; here, we focus between 200 K and 310 K. We demonstrate that thermosensitivity can be amplified in MNOs consisting of ferrimagnetic (FiM) iron oxide (ferrite) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) cobalt oxide (CoO) through interface effects. The FiM/ AFM MNOs are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), (scanning) transmission electron microscopy (STEM/TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Raman spectroscopy. Thermosensitivity is evaluated and quantified by temperature-dependent magnetic measurements. The FiM/AFM exchange coupling is confirmed by field-cooled (FC) hysteresis loops measured at 100 K. Magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS) measurements were performed at room temperature to evaluate the MNOs MPI response. This initial study shows that FiM/AFM interfacial magnetic coupling is a viable method to increase thermosensitivity in MNOs for T-MPI.

Tuning the core–shell morphology of bimagnetic
nanoparticles
and its associated exchange bias behavior is a promising way to overcome
the superparamagnetic limit and stabilize the particle moment in extended
time and temperature ranges. The intraparticle magnetization distribution
and magnetic coupling between the two phases, however, is still unclear.
We report a significant nonzero magnetization in the Co
x
Fe(1–x)O core
of native core–shell bimagnetic nanoparticles that is typically
considered antiferro- or paramagnetic. Co0.14Fe0.86O@Co0.4Fe2.4O4 (6 nm@2 nm) and Co0.08Fe0.92O@Co0.58Fe2.28O4 (12 nm@2 nm) core–shell nanoparticles have been synthesized
by thermal decomposition of a mixed cobalt–iron oleate with
a similar Fe/Co distribution throughout the nanoparticle. We determine
the exact phase composition and the magnetization distribution in
the core and shell using a combination of X-ray and neutron small-angle
scattering. Core and shell magnetization are traced separately with
a varying magnetic field. Our results reveal that the magnetization
of the core and the spinel-type shell phases are coupled at room temperature,
i.e., rotating coherently with the magnetic field. This is a mandatory
condition to observe a significant exchange bias effect at low temperatures.
These findings highlight the enormous potential of finite size and
exchange coupling in bimagnetic nanoparticles to control the magnetic
properties via interface-induced magnetization.
