Abstract

The physics of ideal single-domain nanoparticles is reviewed, followed by a discussion of how the behavior of real particles can differ. The main synthetic approaches are surveyed, and the advantages of different methods are identified. The magnetic properties of the nanoparticles are related to their use in applications including magnetic separation, ferrofluids, magnetic recording media, and biomedicine. Topics of recent interest are discussed, along with future directions.
