Magnetic nanoparticles are widely used in biomedical and oil-well applications in aqueous, often harsh environments. The pursuit for high-saturation magnetization together with high stability of the molecular coating that prevents agglomeration and oxidation remains an active research area. Here, we report a detailed analysis of the criteria for the stability of molecular coatings in aqueous environments along with extensive first-principles calculations for magnetite, which has been widely used ...[more]
