In this study, a synthetic method to produce water-soluble iron−gold (Fe−Au) alloy nanoparticles is described. The diameter of the alloy nanoparticles is 4.9 ± 1.0 and 3.8 ± 1.0 nm for two different precursors of iron, ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (Fe2+) and iron pentacarbonyl (Fe0). The X-ray powde...
