The hydrodynamic radius and size distribution of MNPs were analyzed using dynamic laser scattering (DLS) (90 Plus particle size analyzer, Brookhaven Instruments, USA) at room temperature. Further, to examine the original crystal size, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis was performed with the JEOL 1010 Transmission Electron microscope operated at 100 kV. The magnetization curve of MNPs was measured using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM-3, Toei Kogyo, Tokyo, Japan) equipped with an electromagnet (TEM-WFR7, Toei Kogyo, Tokyo, Japan) and a gaussmeter (Model 421, Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc.). The measurement was conducted at room temperature with a maximum field of 780 kA/m.
The Agilent 8453 UV-Visible Spectrometer with Quartz-1 cm path length was used for evaluating absorbance of MNPs from 200 to 1000 nm wavelength.
