Synthetic Control Over Magnetic Moment and Exchange Bias in All-Oxide Materials Encapsulated Within a Spherical Protein Cage

Journal Article · · Journal of the American Chemical Society
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1021/ja0667561· OSTI ID:930313

This work focuses on the synthetic control of magnetic properties of mixed oxide magnetic nanoparticles of the general formula Fe{sub 3-x}Co{sub x}O{sub 4} (x {le} 0.33) in the protein cage ferritin. In this biomimetic approach, variations in the chemical synthesis result in the formation of single-phase Fe{sub 3-x}Co{sub x}O4 alloys or intimately mixed binary phase Fe/Co oxides, modifying the chemical structure and magnetic behavior of these particles, as characterized by static and dynamic magnetization measurements and X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
