The development of magnetoplasmonic nanomaterials is a topic of considerable interest because of the combination of plasmonic and magnetic properties. The plasmonic component allows optical detection, photothermal therapy (PTT), and photoacoustic imaging (PAI), while the magnetic part provides magnetic targeting, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and magnetic hyperthermia. Multifunctional magnetoplasmonic nanoparticles, which can be utilized for synergistic optical/MRI imaging and photothermal/hyperthermia therapy, lead to the new approaches for overcoming the restrictions of current diagnostic tools. Magnetoplasmonic Janus nanoparticles (e.g., Au@Fe3O4) offer unique features, including the precisely controlled distribution of compositions, surface charges, dipole moments, modular and combined functionalities, which enable excellent applications that are unavailable to their symmetrical counterparts. Assemblies of NPs exhibit coupled optical, electronic and magnetic properties that are different from single NPs. Through bringing together advances in nanochemistry, polymer chemistry, self-assembly, and nanophotonics, we expect to further expand our capability of tailoring optical and structural characteristics of Magnetoplasmonic assemblies not only provide a new insight into the self-assembly mechanism of polymer/inorganic nanoparticles but also address challenges in nanomedicine area.
