Abstract
This paper outlines the preparation of monodisperse MnFe2O4 nanoparticles modified with omega-alkenyl moieties in a one-pot reaction, requiring no ligand-exchange step, followed by deposition of the resulting surfactant-coated nanoparticles onto a hydrogen-terminated silicon (111) wafer and covalent anchoring to the surface via UV-initiated bonding, creating a stable two-dimensional array of monodisperse magnetic nanoparticles.
