Synthesis and Applications of Magnetic Nanoparticles: From Transformers to Cancer Detection
Presented by Dr. Dale Huber, Sandia National Labs
Nanoscopic magnets can have dramatically enhanced magnetic susceptibilities as compared to their bulk counterparts, making them ideal for applications as varied as transformer cores and biomedical detection schemes. For any intended application, however, the particle phase, size, size dispersity, coating and matrix interactions must be optimized. Developing real world solutions with magnetic nanoparticles requires broad interdisciplinary work and so I will discuss the basic science of magnetic nanoparticle physics and chemistry. I will also touch on technological aspects of their deployment in practical applications with inputs from biology, medicine, and electrical engineering. Sandia National Laboratories is a multi-mission laboratory managed and operated by Sandia Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation, for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000.
