Abstract

Abstract Superparamagnetic solid particles of the general formula I M.sub.v Mn.sub.w Zn.sub.x Fe.sub.y O.sub.z (I) where M is Co and/or Ni, v and w are each from 0 to 0.998, x is from 0.001 to 0.998, y is from 2.001 to 2.998, z is from 3.001 to 4, v+w+x is from 0.002 to 0.999, v+w+x+y is 3, v≠0 if w=0 and w≠0 or v=0, polar and nonpolar superparamagnetic liquids which contain the surfactant-coated superparamagnetic solid particles I in the form of a colloidal dispersion in polar or nonpolar liquid media, and processes for the preparation of polar and nonpolar superparamagnetic liquids.
