- *Abstract
-
Nanoparticles such as FeCo-FeCoO, FeCo-Au, FeCo-SiO2, Fe-Ag, Co-Au, C, Fe-Au are currently limited to laboratory scale production due to a lack of a system to produce these nanoparticles in large quantities. But a nanoparticle synthesis system has been designed that produces unique nanoparticles including gold shells with high crystallinity and high magnetic moment nanoparticles on an industrial scale, some of which are not possible to produce using other processes. A non-chemical, physical process using a sputtering target enables high-throughput performance. The nanoparticles may be utilized in industrial applications ranging from biomedical to solar and data storage applications.Note: The Nanoparticle Deposition technology has been exclusively licensed to Zepto Life Technology.
