Abstract
Nearly monodisperse Fe3O4 nanoparticles (davg = 20 ± 1 nm) were synthesized in an aqueous phase under an argon flow, and then coated with fluorescent brightener (FB) 28. The Fe3O4 nanoparticles were superparamagnetic, with large saturation magnetizations of 54.1 emu/g at 5 K and 48.5 emu/g at 300 K. The FB-28-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles showed a strong fluorescence maximum (λmax) at 435 nm, and also gave strongly fluorescent confocal images in both the green and blue regions, because of the FB 28 coated on the nanoparticles. These magnetic and optical properties will be useful in various biomedical applications.
