Magnetic properties of γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles in a porous SiO 2 shell for drug delivery

Journal Article · · Journal of Physics. Condensed Matter

A method is presented for synthesizing core–shell nanoparticles with a magnetic core and a porous shell suitable for drug delivery and other medical applications. The core contains multipleγ-Fe2O3nanoparticles (~15 nm) enclosed in a SiO2(~100–200 nm) matrix using either methyl (denoted TMOS-γ-Fe2O3) or ethyl (TEOS-γ-Fe2O3) template groups. Low-temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy showed that the magnetic nanoparticles have the maghemite structure,γ-Fe2O3, with all the vacancies in the octahedral sites. Saturation magnetization measurements revealed that the density ofγ-Fe2O3was greater in the TMOS-γ-Fe2O3nanoparticles than TEOS-γ-Fe2O3nanoparticles, presumably because of the smaller methyl group. Magnetization measurements showed that the blocking temperature is around room temperature for the TMOS-γ-Fe2O3and around 250 K for the TEOS-γ-Fe2O3. Three dimensional topography analysis shows clearly that the magnetic nanoparticles are not only at the surface but have penetrated deep in the silica to form the core–shell structure.
