Magnetic nanoparticles are promising systems for biomedical applications and in particular for Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia, a promising therapy that utilizes the heat released by such systems to damage tumor cells. We present an experimental study of the physical properties that influences the capability of heat release, i.e. the Specific Loss Power, SLP, of three biocompatible ferrofluid samples having a magnetic core of maghemite with different core diameter d= 10.2, 14.6 and 19.7 nm. The SLP was measured as a function of frequency f and intensity of the applied alternating magnetic field H, and it turned out to depend on the core diameter, as expected. The results allowed us to highlight experimentally that the physical mechanism responsible for the heating is size-dependent and to establish, at applied constant frequency, the phenomenological functional relationship SLP=cH^x, with 2<x<3 for all samples. The x-value depends on sample size and field frequency/ intensity, here chosen in the typical range of operating magnetic hyperthermia devices. For the smallest sample, the effective relaxation time Teff=19.5 ns obtained from SLP data is in agreement with the value estimated from magnetization data, thus confirming the validity of the Linear Response Theory model for this system at properly chosen field intensity and frequency.

We investigate the magnetic nanoparticles (fluid) hyperthermia in non-adiabatic conditions through the calorimetric method. Specifically, we propose a theoretical approach to magnetic hyperthermia from a thermodynamic point of view. To test the robus
tness of the approach, we perform hyperthermia experiments and analyze the thermal behavior of magnetite and magnesium ferrite magnetic nanoparticles dispersed in water submitted to an alternating magnetic field. From our findings, besides estimating the specific loss power value from a non-adiabatic process, thus enhancing the accuracy in the determination of this quantity, we provide physical meaning to parameters found in literature that still remained not fully understood, and bring to light how they can be obtained experimentally.
We report maximized specific loss power and intrinsic loss power approaching theoretical limits for AC magnetic field heating of nanoparticles. This is achieved by engineering the effective magnetic anisotropy barrier of nanoparticles via alloying of
hard and soft ferrites. 22 nm Co0.03Mn0.28Fe2.7O4/SiO2 NPs reached a specific loss power value of 3417 W/gmetal at a field of 33 kA/m and 380 kHz. Biocompatible Zn0.3Fe2.7O4/SiO2 nanoparticles achieved specific loss power of 500 W/gmetal and intrinsic loss power of 26.8 nHm2/kg at field parameters of 7 kA/m and 380 kHz, below the clinical safety limit. Magnetic bone cement achieved heating adequate for bone tumor hyperthermia, incorporating ultralow dosage of just 1 wt% of nanoparticles. In cellular hyperthermia experiments, these nanoparticles demonstrated high cell death rate at low field parameters. Zn0.3Fe2.7O4/SiO2 nanoparticles show cell viabilities above 97% at concentrations up to 0.5 mg/ml within 48 hrs, suggesting toxicity lower than that of magnetite.
Nanomagnetic hyperthermia (NMH) is intensively studied with the prospect of cancer therapy. A major challenge is to determine the dissipated power during in vivo conditions and conventional methods are either invasive or inaccurate. We present a non-
calorimetric method which yields the heat absorbed during hyperthermia: it is based on accurately measuring the quality factor change of a resonant radio frequency circuit which is employed for the irradiation. The approach provides the absorbed power in real-time, without the need to monitor the sample temperature as a function of time. As such, it is free from the problems caused by the non-adiabatic heating conditions of the usual calorimetry. We validate the method by comparing the dissipated power with a conventional calorimetric measurement. We present the validation for two types of resonators with very different filling factors: a solenoid and a so-called birdcage coil. The latter is a volume coil, which is generally used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) under in vivo condition. The presented method therefore allows to effectively combine MRI and thermotherapy and is thus readily adaptable to existing imaging hardware.
Single-domain ferromagnetic nanoparticle systems can be used to transfer energy from a time-dependent magnetic field into their environment. This local heat generation, i.e., magnetic hyperthermia, receives applications in cancer therapy which requir
es the enhancement of the energy loss. A possible way to improve the efficiency is to chose a proper type of applied field, e.g., a rotating instead of an oscillating one. The latter case is very well studied and there is an increasing interest in the literature to investigate the former although it is still unclear under which circumstances the rotating applied field can be more favourable than the oscillating one. The goal of this work is to incorporate the presence of a static field and to perform a systematic study of the non-linear dynamics of the magnetisation in the framework of the deterministic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in order to calculate energy losses. Two cases are considered: the static field is either assumed to be perpendicular to the plane of rotation or situated in the plane of rotation. In the latter case a significant increase in the energy loss/cycle is observed if the magnitudes of the static and the rotating fields have a certain ratio (e.g. it should be one for isotropic nanoparticles). It can be used to super-localise the heat transfer: in case of an inhomogeneous applied static field, tissues are heated up only where the magnitudes of the static and rotating fields reach the required ratio.
Absorbed power of nanoparticles during magnetic hyperthermia can be well determined from changes in the quality factor ($Q$ factor) of a resonator, in which the radiofrequency (RF) absorbent is placed. We present an order of magnitude improvement in
the $Q$ factor measurement accuracy over conventional methods by studying the switch-on and off transient signals of the resonators. A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) console is ideally suited to acquire the transient signals and it also allows to employ the so-called pulse phase-cycling to remove transient artifacts. The improved determination of the absorbed power is demonstrated on various resonators in the 1-30 MHz range including standard solenoids and also a birdcage resonator. This leads to the possibility to detect minute amounts of ferrite nanoparticles which are embedded in the body and also the amount of the absorbed power. We demonstrate this capability on a phantom study, where the exact location of an embedded ferrite is clearly detected.
