The creation of large magnetic fields is a necessary component in many technologies,
ranging from magnetic resonance imaging, electric motors and generators, and magnetic …

Diagnostic approaches based on multimodal imaging are needed for accurate selection of
the therapeutic regimens in several diseases, although the dose of administered contrast …

We describe an environmentally friendly, top-down approach to the synthesis of Au89Fe11
nanoparticles (NPs). The plasmonic response of the gold moiety and the magnetism of the …

Over the last 25 years, x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and x-ray magnetic
circular dichroism (XMCD) have proven to be particularly suitable for the study of the …

An overview of X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy in the hard X-ray
range is presented. A short historical overview shows how this technique has evolved from …

We report on the unprecedented direct observation of spin-polarization transfer across
colloidal magneto-plasmonic Au@ Fe-oxide core@ shell nanocrystal heterostructures. A …

The Haber-Bosch process for NH3 synthesis is arguably one of the greatest inventions of the
20th century, with a massive footprint in agriculture and, historically, warfare. Current …

We show that bulk gold (Au) exhibits temperature-independent paramagnetism in an
external magnetic field by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy at the Au L 2 and …

In this paper, we present some specific chemical and magnetic order obtained very recently
on characteristic bimetallic nanoalloys prepared by mass-selected Low Energy Cluster …

Highly sensitive magnetometry reveals paramagnetism in dendrimer-coated gold
nanoparticles. Different types of such nanoparticles, as a result of (i) functionalizing with two …
