This article describes the preparation and fundamental properties of a new possible material as a magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent based on the incorporation of preformed iron oxide (Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) nanocrystals into hollow silicon nanotubes (Si NTs). Specifically, superparamagnetic Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles of two different average sizes (5 nm and 8 nm) were loaded into Si NTs of two different shell thicknesses (40 nm and 70 nm). To achieve proper aqueous s ...[more]
