Stable suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with large magnetic moment, m, per particle have tremendous utility in a wide range of biological applications. However, because of the strong magnetic coupling interactions often present in these systems, it is challenging to stabilize individual, high-moment, ferro- and ferrimagnetic nanoparticles. A novel approach to encapsulate large, that is, >100 nm, ferrimagnetic zinc ferrite nanocubes (ZFNCs) with silica after an intermediary layer-by-layer polyelectrolyte deposition step is described in this paper. The seed ZFNCs are uniform in shape and size and have high saturation mass magnetic moment (sigma(s) similar to 100 emu/g, m similar to 4 x 10(-13) emu/particle at 150 Oe). For the MNP system described within, successful silica encapsulation and creation of discrete ZFNCs were realized only after depositing polyelectrolyte multilayers composed of alternating polyallylamine and polystyrenesulfonate. Without the intermediary polyelectrolyte layers, magnetic dipole-dipole interactions led to the formation of linearly chained ZFNCs embedded in a silica matrix. Characterization of particle samples was performed by electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering (hydrodynamic size and zeta-potential), and vibrating sample magnetometry. The results of these characterizations, which were performed after each of the synthetic steps, and synthetic details are presented.
