“…Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles include ␥-Fe 2 O 3 and Fe 3 O 4 , among others (Chatterjee, Haik, & Chen, 2003;Kim, Ahn, & Lee, 2007;Neuberger, Schöpf, Hofmann, Hofmann, & Rechenberg, 2005;Sun, Ma, Zhang, & Gu, 2004). These can be produced using the bulk solution method (Sun et al, 2004), the sol-gel method (Jotania, Khomane, Chauhan, Menon, & Kulkarni, 2008), the aerosol/vapour (pyrolysis) method (Racka, Gich, Waniewska, Roig, & Molins, 2005), the gas deposition method (Rellinghaus, Stappert, Acet, & Wassermann, 2003), and the microemulsion method (Jia, Yujun, Yangcheng, Jingyu, & Guangsheng, 2006;Jotania et al, 2008). Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have features of superparamagnetism, high coercive force, and small-size effect (Huber, 2005;Neuberger et al, 2005).…”
