The Raman Electroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, STEM-TEM images, EDX line-scan profiles and magnetometry measurements we applied to investigate the unique characteristics of these synthesized materials. The magnetic and magnetic resonance characteristics, as well as the asymmetric form of magnetic hysteresis, confirmed the presence of the core – shell architecture of the nanoparticles obtained. The specific absorption rate make these materials attractive for magnetic hyperthermia applications.
