We report on electric double layered magnetic fluids based on
samarium-doped maghemite nanoparticles. The nanostructures chemical composition
is carefully checked and X-ray diffraction patterns provide both their mean
size and a structural characterization. Magnetization results are presented.
Since these particles can become radioactive after neutron activation, they
could therefore represent a new perspective for biomedical applications.
