Magnetic Nanohybrids for Magnetic Resonance Imaging 107(Fig. 2(d)). The primary core is coated with a hydrophilic/hydro-
phobic polymer and then secondary precursor (Fig. 2(e)) and self-
assembled heterogeneous nucleation of both materials (Fig. 2(f))
are introduced. Following there two pathways, a variety of mag-
netic nanohybrids including metal–oxide oxide–metal, metal–
metal, oxide–oxide, and metal–semiconductor structures have
been prepared successively.

nanostructures.
