Abstract

Abstract : Core-Shell (Fe3 O4 /Au) nanoparticles were synthesized using iron II chloride tetrahydrate (FeCl2 H2 O) and potassium tetrachloroaurate III (AuCl4 K) precursors under microwave-assisted conditions. Products were analyzed using field emission gun electron microscope in transmission and scanning modes; energy disperse X-ray spectroscopy performed during STEM measurements indicated a signal for gold K and M signals at 9 keV and 13 keV, respectively, confirming Au atoms at nanoparticle's perimeter and Fe- L signal at 8 keV to be at the center.
