Polystyrene-polyimide core-shell microsphere was prepared by dispersion polymerization using poly(amic acid) as the stabilizer. Iron oxide was formed at the microsphere by thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl impregnated in the microsphere. The magnetic polystyrene-polyimide microsphere was monodisperse and the size was about 500 nm. The magnetic polystyrene-polyimide microsphere had 40% of iron oxide, which was identified as $Fe_3O_4$ by X-ray diffraction.

In this study, a high sensitive giant magnetoresistance-spin valve (GMR-SV) bio-sensing device with high linearity and very low hysteresis was fabricated by photolithography and ion beam deposition sputtering system. Detection of the Fe-hemoglobin inside in a red blood and magnetic nanoparticles using the GMR-SV bio-sensing device was investigated. Here a human's red blood includes hemoglobin, and the nanoparticles are the Co-ferrite magnetic particles coated with a shell of amorphous silica which the average size of the water-soluble bare cobalt nanoparticles was about 9 nm with total size of about 50 nm. When 1 mA sensing current was applied to the current electrode in the patterned active GMR-SV devices with areas of $5x10{\mu}m^2 $ and $2x6{\mu}m^2 $, the output signals of the GMRSV sensor were about 100 mV and 14 mV, respectively. In addition, the maximum sensitivity of the fabricated GMR-SV sensor was about $0.1{\sim}0.8%/Oe$. The magnitude of output voltage signals was obtained from four-probe magnetoresistive measured system, and the picture of real-time motion images was monitored by an optical microscope. Even one drop of human blood and nanopartices in distilled water were found to be enough for detecting and analyzing their signals clearly.

양자점은 전통적인 유기 염료에 비해 흡광영역이 넓고 발광 피크의 폭이 좁으며, 흡광과 발광 사이의 에너지 차가 커서 검출이 용이하고, 광안정성이 우수할 뿐만 아니라, 단순히 크기를 조절함으로써 발광 피크의 에너지를 제어할 수 있는 특장 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 그러나 많은 나노입자들과 마찬가지로 실질적인 응용을 위해서는 양자점 나노입자들도 대부분 표면개질을 거쳐야 하는데, 이 과정이 까다롭고 또 표면개질 중에 나노입자들의 응집이 일어나거나 광특성이 나빠지는 등의 문제가 흔히 발생한다. 한편, 서브미크론 크기의 입자들은 나노입자에 비해 응집현상이 미미해서 상대적으로 취급이 용이하다. 그 중에서도 실리카 입자들은 합성방법도 쉽게 확립되어 있고 생체친화성이 우수하며 그 표면화학 반응이 이미 잘 알려져 있어서 활용하기가 매우 용이하다. 따라서 양자점 층을 실리카 표면 가까이에 자기조립을 통해 배열한 하이브리드 구조는 양자점의 장점을 편리하게 이용할 뿐만 아니라 실리카의 표면개질 특성도 그대로 이용할 수 있다는 이중의 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 코어/쉘 구조로 안정화된 II-VI 반도체 양자점 층을 아래 그림 1과 같이 실리카 콜로이드 내에 배열한 하이브리드 구조를 소개하고, 이 하이브리드 구조를 표면개질 하여 LED 칩 위에 패키징 함으로써 백색광을 제조한 연구 및 더 나아가 중심에 초상자성 클러스터 핵을 배치하고 이를 둘러싼 실리카 콜로이드 표면 가까이에 양자점 층을 배열한 초상자성 하이브리드 구조를 합성하여 이를 on-site sensor에 적용한 연구 결과를 소개한다.

Purpose : To develop a theoretical model for magnetic relaxation behavior of the superparamagnetic nano-particle agent, which demonstrates multi-functionality such as liver- and lymp node-specificity. Based on the developed model, the computer simulation was performed to clarify the relationship between relaxation time and the applied magnetic field strength. Materials and Methods : The ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) was encapsulated with biocompatiable polymer, to develop a relaxation model based on outsphere mechanism, which was resulting from diffusion and/or electron spin fluctuation. In addition, Brillouin function was introduced to describe the full magnetization by considering the fact that the low-field approximation, which was adapted in paramagnetic case, is no longer valid. The developed model describes therefore the T1 and T2 relaxation behavior of superparamagnetic iron oxide both in low-field and in high-field. Based on our model, the computer simulation was performed to test the relaxation behavior of superparamagnetic contrast agent over various magnetic fields using MathCad (MathCad, U.S.A.), a symbolic computation software. Results : For T1 and T2 magnetic relaxation characteristics of ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide, the theoretical model showed that at low field (<1.0 Mhz), $\tau_{S1}(\tau_{S2}$, in case of T2), which is a correlation time in spectral density function, plays a major role. This suggests that realignment of nano-magnetic particles is most important at low magnetic field. On the other hand, at high field, $\tau$, which is another correlation time in spectral density function, plays a major role. Since $\tau$ is closely related to particle size, this suggests that the difference in R1 and R2 over particle sizes, at high field, is resulting not from the realignment of particles but from the particle size itself. Within normal body temperature region, the temperature dependence of T1 and T2 relaxation time showed that there is no change in T1 and T2 relaxation times at high field. Especially, T1 showed less temperature dependence compared to T2. Conclusion : We developed a theoretical model of r magnetic relaxation behavior of ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO), which was reported to show clinical multi-functionality by utilizing physical properties of nano-magnetic particle. In addition, based on the developed model, the computer simulation was performed to investigate the relationship between relaxation time of USPIO and the applied magnetic field strength.

In this paper, we investigate the optical properties of $Ag@Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles (NPs) composed of a plasmonic core and a magnetic shell. As the $Fe_3O_4$ shell with high refractive index (~2.42) is formed on the surface of the silver NPs having diameter of 60 nm, the wavelength of the localized surface-plasmon resonance (LSPR) is shifted from 420 nm to 650 nm, a so-called "redshift". Furthermore, through the use of three simulation models ($Ag@Fe_3O_4$ NP, $Fe_3O_4$ shell NP, and silver NP), the peak at 410 nm is seen to be the result of scattering by the $Fe_3O_4$ shell with 60 nm thickness, which would be useful in comprehending the complex optics in various nanoscale assemblies using similar NPs.

We measured the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) signal using the monodisperse iron oxide nanoparticles with size D=4.67 nm, 5.64 nm and 6.34 nm synthesized by using the thermal decomposition method, respectively. The measured ferromagnetic resonance signals were compared with the calculated ones for superparamagnetic nanoparticles with lognormal volume distribution. The FMR linewidth broadening was propositional to tanh($V^2$), where V was volume of nanoparticles. The narrow linewidth of small size nanoparticles was due to the surface spins, while the broad linewidth of large size nanoparticles was due to the bulk spins affected by the crystalline structure of iron oxide nanoparticles. The superposition of surface and bulk effect was confirmed at D=5.64 nm nanoparticles, which was near the critical size for linewidth transition from surface effect to bulk effect.
