Abstract
Water-dispersible gold nanoparticles functionalized with paramagnetic
gadolinium have been fully characterized, and the NMRD profiles show
very high relaxivities up to 1.5 T. Characterization using TEM images
and dynamic light scattering indicate a particle size distribution from
2 to 15 nm. The gold cores of the nanoparticles do not contribute
significantly to the overall magnetic moment.
