Efficacy of surface-functionalized Mg_1-x Co _x Fe₂O₄ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1; Δx = 0.1) for hyperthermia and in vivo MR imaging as a contrast agent.

ABSTRACT: Surface-functionalized Mg_1-x Co _x Fe₂O₄ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1; Δx = 0.1) can be an exciting candidate as an MRI contrast agent and for thermotherapeutic applications. The figure-of-merit, T ₂, relaxivity, r ₂, of MRI and specific loss power, SLP, of hyperthermia depend on the structural and magnetic properties of the nanoparticles. We synthesized cobalt-substituted magnesium ferrite Mg_1-x Co _x Fe₂O₄ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1 with Δx = 0.1) nanoparticles using a chemical co-precipitation method. The lattice parameter and average crystallite size increase with the increase in cobalt content. The force-constant of FTIR of the tetrahedral sit
