All these technological and medical apvplications require that the nanoparticles are superparamagnetic with size smaller than 20 nm and the overall particle size distribution is narrow so that the part ides have uniform physical and chemical properties. In the last years, various methods for the preparation of such particles have been developed and optimized. High-quality monodisperse iron oxide nanopartides with high crystalline and narrow size distribution have been prepared by a high-temperature organic phase decomposition method.
