Abstract: The aim of the thesis is the investigation of magnetic nanomaterials that have applications in biomedicine and their characterization at the nanoscale. Cylindrical magnetic nanowires with different geometries and materials composition are studied. Additionally, the feasibility of nanostructured magnetostrictive surfaces for bactericidal applications has been tested. Moreover, the characterization of magnetotactic bacteria and magnetic nanoparticles with magnetic force microscopy has allowed the observation of the magnetic configurations for individual elements, as well as the evaluation, in the case of nanoparticles, of the power that they absorb and release in the form of heat.
