NanoLand lab

NanoLand lab is Nanomagnetics & Biomaterials laboratory at Department of Physics, University of Texas at El Paso (Â鶹¹ÙÍø). The lab focuses on the synthesis and investigation of different types of magnetic nanoparticles from laboratory scale up to fabrication and industry scale. The nanoland lab concerns at soft and hard magnetic nanoparticles to be used for various types of applications such as hyperthermia treatment for cancer, contrast agents for MRI, drug delivery, data storage, permanent magnets and magnetocaloric for refrigeration technologies. For that the lab contains the following equipements:

• Arc Melter
• High Energy ball milling mixer
• Pressure reactor works at supercritical condition of liquids up to 500 C and 2000 psi
• Tube furnace connected with vacuum system for annealing up to 1200 C
• Glove box connected with Argon gas for oxygen sensitive sample preparation.
• Low and High temperatures vibrating sample magnetometer measures the magnetic properties of the magnetic materials with field range -3 to 3 T and Temperature range between 50 to 1000 K.
• Hyperthermia generator for measuring feasibility of magnetic nanoparticles for hyperthermia treatment for cancer (In vitro studies). It works in range of AC magnetic field and frequencies up to 500 Oe and 758 kHz.

• Superparamagnetic nanoparticles for hyperthermia treatment for cancer
• Long-range order hard magnetic nanoparticles for permanent magnets, data storage and exchange bias.
• Room- Temperature magnetocaloric nanomaterials for magnetic refrigeration.
