Abstract

Bifunctional nanocomposites comprising semiconductor and magnetic nanoparticles are of interest in biological applications for biolabeling, bioimaging, and cell separation. To this end, a nanocomposite system that consists of Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticles and CdSe quantum dots and which exhibits supe...
