• mesocrystalline mono- and multilayers were presented [13]. The synthesised 10 nm sized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanocrystals have magnetite as the dominant phase and the morphology of a cube truncated by {110}, {111}, {310}, and {114} faces. The morphology of the nanocubes is crucial to further understand the

• .5.155 Abstract Semiconductor quantum dots (QD) and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanocrystals (SPIO) have exceptional physical properties that are well suited for biomedical applications in vitro and in vivo. For future applications, the direct injection of nanocrystals for imaging and therapy represents

Iron-containing superparamagnetic iron oxide nanocrystals (SPIOs) used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have a relative good reputation given that iron is an essential trace element and it can be assumed that iron from
