Nanoscale Magnetism of Novel Structures
Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are fundamentally important as they have a wide range of applications from electronics, magnetic recording media, to bionano technologies and medicine (e.g. magnetic hyperthermia cancer treatment, magnetic resonance imaging). They have been studying in many different forms including super spin-glass in the nano assembly, ferronematic liquid crystals, catalysts, etc..In MNPs, the magnetic properties are critically affected by size as well as surface interactions with the environment resulting in the change of the key fundamental properties such as magnetic moment, dynamic alternating current (AC) response that are required for applications.Our project involves fabrication of MNPs and systematic structural-functional studies by physical characterisation at both macroscopic and microscopic level using various magnetic and crystallography techniques. We seek to understand the fundamental aspects of magnetism at the nanometer length scale, which may include those in confined novel structures or geometries such as anisotropic rod, cube and core@shell NPs. The project is divided mainly into two parts:(i) Fabricating nanostructure using novel synthetic platform such as microfluidic reactors.(ii) Characterising the magnetic properties for various applications (e.g., magnetic hyperthermia, magnetic resonance imaging)The results of our studies will provide fundamental insights into the nature of nanoscale magnetism relevant to a variety of nanomagnetic applications.
