Firstly Mg(x)Fe(1–x)O (magnesiwuestite) nano powder samples were synthesised by low tempera- ture chemical combustion method. Secondly the as synthesised Mg(x)Fe(1–x)O nanoparticles are used to synthesis mag- netic core-shell Nano particles byusing 2-propanol, poly ethylene glycol (PEG), ammonia solution 30 wt%, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). Separation of the core-shell magnetic nanoparticles from the aqueous suspension using a centri- fuge. The synthesised MNPs and core shell MNP were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermal gravime- tric-differential thermal analyzer (TG-DTA), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), (EDAX) for structural, thermal and morphological respectively. It is observed that the particle size of spherical sampleis 32.5 nm. Keywords: Magnetic Nanoparticl
