Nanoparticles of magnetite containing variable proportions of platinum were prepared in the laboratory. The magnetite nanoparticles with platinum (Pt-Fe3O4) were obtained by reducing the Fe3+ of the maghemite (γ Fe2O3) mixed with platinum (II) acetylacetonate and sucrose in two inversely coupled ceramic crucibles and heated in a furnace at 400 ◦C for 20 min. The formed carbon during this preparation acts to chemically reduce the ferric iron in maghemite. Moreover, its residual layer on the particle surface prevents the forming magnetite from oxidizing in air and helps retain the platinum in the solid mixture. The produced Pt-magnetite samples were characterized by 57Fe-M¨ossbauer spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and magnetization measurements.Measurements of AC magnetic-field-induced heating properties of the obtained nanocomposites, in aqueous solution, showed that they are suitable as a hyperthermia agent for biological applications.en-USrestritoHyperthermiaMedical technologyIron oxideOncologyArtigo publicado em periodicohttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10751-017-1426-6https://doi.org/10.1007/s10751-017-1426-6
