Electrostatic Co‐assembly of Magnetic Nanoparticles and Fluorescent Nanospheres: A Versatile Approach Towards Bimodal Nanorods

Highly anisotropic rods containing anionic magnetic nanoparticles and organic fluorescent nanospheres (see image) are synthesized using an electrostatic co-assembly strategy in the presence of cationic polyelectrolytes. The hybrid elongated architectures maintain the superparamagnetic properties of the -Fe2O3 constituents, as evidenced by their in-phase response to an external rotating magnetic field.
