Abstract
The capability of magnetic nanoferrites to be precisely controlled by an external magnetic field makes them an extremely interesting candidate for use in biomedical applications. Because ferrites possess outstanding magnetic capabilities, they may be used as nanoagents in a wide number of applications, including magnetic hyperthermia (MHT), targeted drug administration, magnetic separation, biosensors, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is a challenging problem to maintain the high magnetism of nanoferrites, which decreases as their size is reduced to the nanoscale; as a result, the engineering of these nanoferrites is of utmost importance, with the selection of an efficient synthesis procedure playing a crucial role in the process. When it comes to biomedical applications, the success of nanoferrites is contingent on a wide variety of factors, some of which include their shape, biocompatibility, chemical and physical characteristics, and others.
