AB  - Composite nanoparticles find application in catalysis, drug delivery, and energy 
      storage and require increasingly fine control of their physical properties and 
      composition. While composite nanoparticles have been widely synthesized and 
      characterized, little work has systematically correlated the initial 
      concentration of precursors and the final composition of flame synthesized 
      composite nanoparticles. This relationship is explored in a diffusion flame 
      aerosol reactor by coupling a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) with an 
      inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES). A framework 
      for studying the relationship between the initial precursor concentrations of 
      different elements and the final nanoparticle composition is explored. The 
      size-resolved elemental composition was measured by directly injecting 
      size-selected fractions of aggregated magnetite and silicon dioxide composite 
      nanoparticles into the ICP-OES plasma. This work showed a correlation between 
      precursor molar ratio and the measured elemental ratio in the mobility size range 
      of 50 to 140 nm. Building on previous work studying size resolved elemental 
      composition of engineered nanoparticles, the analysis is extended to flame 
      synthesized composite nanoparticle aggregates in this work.
