In the present study, Fe 3O 4/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 Fe 3O 4 NCs (seeds). The tran...
