The single-phase mixed ultrasmall GdEuO₃ nanoparticles are potential candidates for dual imaging experiment.It emerges as a new and advanced imaging technique in clinical applications. It is expected that it will play a key role to diagnose diseases by replacing conventional single-imaging techniques. We developed a simple one-step synthesis of lactobionic acid surface-modified ultra small GdEuO₃ nanoparticles. It was well characterized by using MP-XRD, TEM, FT-IR spectrophotometer, TGA, confocal microscope, SQUID magnetometer and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) instrument.
