Magnetic Nanomaterials

Magnetic nanomaterials are substances with magnetic properties at the nanoscale, typically ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers. They exhibit unique magnetic behaviors due to their small size and high surface-to-volume ratio. These materials are widely applied in various fields, including biomedical applications such as targeted drug delivery and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. In data storage, they enhance the performance of hard drives by improving data retention and retrieval speeds. Additionally, magnetic nanomaterials are explored in environmental remediation, catalysis, and energy storage, due to their tunable magnetic properties and ability to interact with light and matter effectively.
