Abstract
Ion implantation is used to create magnetic ion embedded nanodiamonds for use in a wide range of biological and medical applications; however, the effectiveness of this process depends heavily on separating magnetic nanodiamonds from non-magnetic ones. In this study, we use secondary ion mass spectrometry to assess the distribution of magnetic ions and verify the success of separation. When applied to a series of iron/manganese embedded nanodiamonds, the sorting tool used in this study proved highly effective in selecting magnetic nanodiamonds. This paper also discusses the major challenges involved in the further development of this technology.
