Element-specific contributions to improved magnetic heating of theranostic CoFe2O4 nanoparticles decorated with Pd

Abstract Decoration with Pd clusters increases the magnetic heating ability of cobalt ferrite (CFO) nanoparticles by a factor of two. The origin of this previous finding is unraveled by element-specific X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) combined with atomic m...
