The magnetic iron oxide nano material has unique superparamagnetism and biocompatibility, becomes a nano material which is widely applied in the medical field at present, and has great advantages in the aspects of magnetic resonance imaging and tumor treatment. Magnetic nanoparticles above the critical dimension (about 25 nm) can switch from superparamagnetic to ferromagnetic, making them unsuitable for biomedical applications. The magnetic iron oxide nanocluster is a secondary structure consisting of a primary structure of iron oxide nanoparticles, and the nanoparticles have superparamagnetism, so that the nanocluster also retains the superparamagnetism, has stronger magnetic performance than the primary structure of the nanoparticles, and can avoid the aggregation of the particle clusters caused by residual magnetism. The magnetic iron oxide particle cluster is a soft magnetic substance, and when other metal ions are doped in the magnetic iron oxide crystal lattice, the structure, the physical and chemical properties and the magnetic properties of the nanocluster can be effectively changed. Gadolinium ions are special ions, have large magnetic moments and excellent magnetic resonance imaging effect, and are used as common magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents.
