Synthesis Approaches of Magnetic Quantum Dots

Abstract

Magnetic nanoparticles around 10-20 nm play a role as a single magnetic domain and attract interest for biomedical applications due to their superparamagnetic properties above blocking temperature. Semiconductor quantum dots with excellent optical properties have been investigated in biolabelling and bioimaging by means of their water solubility with certain bioconjugations. Recently there has been a huge interest in the area of magnetic quantum dots (especially Cd-Pb free) merging magnetic nanoparticles and quantum dots for biomedical and bioimaging applications. © 2023 selection and editorial matter, Amin Reza Rajabzadeh, Seshasai Srinivasan, Poushali Das, and Sayan Ganguly.
