Abstract: The evolution of magnetic order from the microscopic to the macroscopic regime may be studied with the use of nanometer-scale clusters. A variety of new techniques can be employed to control the size of the magnetic clusters from the atomic level. Molecular beams are used to construct and measure the magnetic properties of isolated metallic clusters. Superparamagnetic metallic particles embedded in a metal exhibit dramatic field-dependent changes in electrical conduction, providing a measure of spin-dependent scattering. Related efforts in semiconductor hosts with the use of ion implantation have generated room-temperature ferromagnetic clusters that can be directly imaged by magnetic force microscopy.

Zener Model Description of Ferromagnetism in Zinc-Blende Magnetic Semiconductors
TL;DR: Zener's model of ferromagnetism, originally proposed for transition metals in 1950, can explain T(C) of Ga(1-)(x)Mn(x)As and that of its II-VI counterpart Zn(1)-Mn (x)Te and is used to predict materials with T (C) exceeding room temperature, an important step toward semiconductor electronics that use both charge and spin.

Cancer Cell Imaging and Photothermal Therapy in the Near-Infrared Region by Using Gold Nanorods
TL;DR: It is found that, after exposure to continuous red laser at 800 nm, malignant cells require about half the laser energy to be photothermally destroyed than the nonmalignant cells, so both efficient cancer cell diagnostics and selective photothermal therapy are realized at the same time.

The use of nanocrystals in biological detection
TL;DR: The emerging ability to control the patterns of matter on the nanometer length scale can be expected to lead to entirely new types of biological sensors capable of sensing at the single-molecule level in living cells, and capable of parallel integration for detection of multiple signals.

TL;DR: This paper proves that Cd(CH3)2 can be replaced by CdO and develops a one-pot synthesis which does not require separated preparation of cadmium complex and is reproducible and simple and thus can be readily scaled up for industrial production.
