Artigo Monodisperse sodium oleate coated magnetite high susceptibility nanoparticles for hyperthermia applications(Elsevier B.V., 2014-08-13) Carriço, Artur da Silva; Araújo Neto, R. P.; Silva Freitas, E. L.; Carvalho, J. F.; Pontes, T. R. F.; Silva, K. L.; Damasceno, I. H. M.; Egito, E. S. T.; Dantas, Ana L.; Morales, Marco A.We report a simple and low cost methodology to synthesize sodium oleate coated magnetite nanoparticles for hyperthermia applications. The system consists of oleate coated magnetite nanoparticles with large susceptibility (1065 emu/gT), induced by the dipolar inter-particle interaction, with a magnetic core diameter in the 6 nm–12 nm size range. In aqueous medium, the nanoparticles agglomerate to form a monodisperse system, exhibiting a mean hydrodynamic diameter of 60.6 nm±4.1 nm, with a low average polydispersity index of 0.128±0.003, as required for intravenous applications. The system exhibits promising efficiency for magnetic hyperthermia, with a specific absorption rate of 14 W/g at a low field amplitude of 15.9 kA/m and frequency of 62 kHz. In a 50 mg/mL density in 1 mL, the temperature rises to 42.5 °C in 1.9 min.Artigo Synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles by high energy ball milling(Elsevier B.V., 2013) Carriço, Artur da Silva; Carvalho, J. F.; Medeiros, S. N.; Morales, M. A.; Dantas, Ana L.We report on the preparation of magnetite nanoparticles, with size ranging from 12 nm to 20 nm, by high energy ball milling. The synthesis is made using stoichiometric amounts of distilled water and metallic iron powder. The milled powder samples were analyzed by Mossbauer spectroscopy (MS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Our results indicate that the milling time is a key parameter of the synthesis. By increasing the milling time one achieves high purity magnetite samples. Also, the particle size decreases with the milling time. The sample milled during 10 h contained a fraction of 56 nm metallic Fe particles and 20 nm magnetite particles. By increasing the milling time to 96 h we have obtained a sample that is mainly composed of 12 nm magnetite particles. MS performed at room temperature showed a spectrum consisting of two sextets with hyperfine parameters related to iron ions occupying octahedral (A) and tetrahedral (B) sites. We have used a self-consistent method to investigate the impact of the dipolar interaction to drive the system to a magnetically blocked regime.
