Magnetically driven preparation of 1-D nano-necklaces capable of MRI relaxation enhancement.

ABSTRACT: We report a novel magnetically-facilitated approach to produce 1-D 'nano-necklace' arrays composed of 0-D magnetic nanoparticles, which are assembled and coated with an oxide layer to produce semi-flexible core@shell type structures. These 'nano-necklaces' demonstrate good MRI relaxation properties despite their coating and permanent alignment, with low field enhancement due to structural and magnetocrystalline anisotropy.
