“…The diffraction pattern of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles has almost the same set of reflexes as γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction methods do not allow unambiguous, accurate phase analysis of small nanoparticles, due to the size effect on the X-ray diffraction pattern [ 49 , 50 ]. The decrease in the size of the crystallites leads to a significant broadening of the diffraction reflexes [ 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ].…”

The paper contains an overview of modern spectroscopic methods for studying the local atomic structure of superparamagnetic nanoparticles based on iron oxide (SPIONs), which are an important class of materials promising for theranostics in oncology. Practically important properties of small and ultra small nanoparticles are determined primarily by their shape, size, and features of the local atomic, electronic, and magnetic structures, for the study of which the standard characterization methods developed for macroscopic materials are not optimal. The paper analyzes results of the studies of SPIONs local atomic structure carried out by X-ray absorption spectroscopy at synchrotron radiation sources and Mössbauer spectroscopy during the last decade.

“…The 1980s and 90s was also an exciting period for the development of the diffraction facilities at Daresbury; and a very thorough account of synchrotron based diffraction work at the SRS has been published by Bob Cernik [30]. The construction of x-ray diffraction (XRD) facilities began in the early 1980s and the chair of the powder diffraction project was one of the current authors (CRAC).…”

“…The three stations continued to operate throughout the lifetime of the SRS and a further account of their development and achievements is given by Cernik [33]. They were followed in the 1990s by a microcrystalline single crystal diffractometer in a project led by Bill Clegg, of which I was co-investigator and which is discussed in detail in Clegg's article in this issue.…”
