Preparation of Functionalized and Gold-Coated Cobalt Nanocrystals for Biomedical Applications
Abstract
We present the synthesis, structural and magnetic characterization of cobalt-based nanocrystals with controlled size (5–25 nm; ±1 nm) and tailored morphologies (spheres, discs with specific aspect ratio of 5 × 20 nm and core–shell structures). The reproducible synthesis route for Au-coated, high moment, cobalt nanocrystals presented here opens up possibilities for a number of biomedical applications and surface functionalities.
