AbstractIron oxide films were produced by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of 57Fe metal in an oxygen atmosphere and their compositions were studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy. The effects of gas-phase reactions were investigated by varying the pressure of O2 gas or an O2/Ar gas mixture. When PLD was performed in a high-pressure O2 atmosphere, the main product in the film was trivalent iron oxide particles. When the O2 pressure was reduced, hematite Fe2O3 became dominant in the film, while wüstite FeO was produced at very low O2 pressures. PLD in an O2/Ar gas mixture produced films of trivalent iron oxide particles and hematite solid, but wüstite was not produced. Increasing the substrate temperature during deposition induced annealing of the films, reducing the lattice defect density. X-ray diffraction patterns were obtained to confirm the assignments, and the surface morphologies of the films were investigated by scanning electron microscopy.

In vivo monitoring of cells labeled with paramagnetic iron oxide particles by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is complicated by intrinsic contrast of blood vessels. Distinction between T2* effects caused by blood vessels from those caused by labeled cells was so far only possible after carefully following the location of hypointense regions through subsequent slices of T2*-weighted 3-D MRI datasets, a procedure that is time consuming and not always reliable in the case of smaller blood vessels. Here, we demonstrate that the modification of the inhalation gas mixture from the routinely used composition 35% O2 and 65% N2O to a mixture containing 95% O2 and 5% CO2 results in a contrast suppression of most small blood vessels and reduces the intrinsic T2* effect of large vessels dramatically in an animal model. This change in protocol of physiological conditions was well tolerated by all studied animals, even over prolonged experimental times. The changed inhalation gas mixture thus provides a more reliable identification method for small clusters of iron oxide labeled cells in vivo.

An atom-efficient, wholly aqueous one-pot synthesis of zwitterionic diblock copolymers has been devised. Such copolymers can serve as highly effective aqueous dispersants for nano-sized transparent yellow iron oxide particles.
