In the present study, Fe3O4/ZnO core/shell nanocrystals (NCs) are synthesized via seed-meditated growth approach in nonhydrolytic condition. The controlling process of thermal pyrolysis of zinc acetate (ZnAc) renders a condition to overgrow ZnO layer on the surface of Fe3O4 NCs (seeds). The transmis...
