A search of superparamagnetic iron oxide-myoglobin as potential nanoparticle based magnetic resonance imaging marker in mouse heart imaging

Sharma R., Haik Y., Chen C-J., FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, US

Superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe2O3) has emerged as potential MRI contrast agent in whole animal imaging to localize the site of clinically important physiological damage such as ischemia, angiogenesis, oxygen insufficiency, immuno-deficiency [1, 2]. We achieved [...]

Lattice Constant Dependence on Particle Size for Bulk and Doped Ceria prepared from a Citrate Sol-Gel

Morris M.A., Morris V.N., Farrell R.A., Sexton A.M., Morris M.A., Morris V.N., Analog Devices, Dimensional Solids Group, UCC, IE

High surface area ceria nanoparticles have been prepared using a citrate sol-gel precipitation method. Changes to the particle size have been made by calcining the ceria powders at different temperatures, and X-ray methods used to [...]
