This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the structural and magnetic properties of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticle beads for potential biomedical applications. Characterization techniques including Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) were employed to investigate the crystal structure, morphology, and effect of coating on the magnetic properties of the nanoparticles. The results revealed a well-defined crystalline structure, almost uniform size distribution, and strong superparamagnetic behavior, making them promising candidates for different biomedical applications such as drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and hyperthermia therapy. This research provides valuable insights into the development and potential use of magnetite nanoparticle beads in the field of biomedicine.
