Synthesis of bifunctional magnetic-luminescent nanoparticles

In this paper we report a synthesis of bifunctional material. Dual magnetic and fluorescent inorganic nanoparticles, providing the ability of control by a magnetic field and a high MRI contrast along with strong photoluminescence, are widely used in biology and medicine. The current work is aimed to the combination of magnetic and luminescence properties in one nanocomposite that would be enable the engineering of unique multifunctional nanoscale devices. We studied the methods of synthesis of bifunctional nanoparticles based on luminescent luminescent carbon nanostructures and Fe3O4 nanoparticles, stabilized by ethylenediamine and citric acid.
