Dipolar interactions among magnetite nanoparticles for magnetic hyperthermia: a rate-equation approach

Investigation of magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles for magnetic hyperthermia

The paper presents the investigation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) dedicated to hyperthermia application. The crystal structure and size distributions have been determined by means of transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Magnetic properties of the nanoparticles were tested by Mössbauer spectroscopy together with calorimetric experiments. The Mössbauer spectrosc...

pegylated superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles for magnetic fluid hyperthermia therapy

Monodispersed magnetite nanoparticles optimized for magnetic fluid hyperthermia: Implications in biological systems.

Magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) nanoparticles (MNPs) are suitable materials for Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia (MFH), provided their size is carefully tailored to the applied alternating magnetic field (AMF) frequency. Since aqueous synthesis routes produce polydisperse MNPs that are not tailored for any specific AMF frequency, we have developed a comprehensive protocol for synthesizing highly monodispersed...

Effect of magnetic dipolar interactions on nanoparticle heating efficiency: Implications for cancer hyperthermia

Nanostructured magnetic systems have many applications, including potential use in cancer therapy deriving from their ability to heat in alternating magnetic fields. In this work we explore the influence of particle chain formation on the normalized heating properties, or specific loss power (SLP) of both low- (spherical) and high- (parallelepiped) anisotropy ferrite-based magnetic fluids. Anal...
