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 requires 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.

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 present preliminary results on the possible effects that primordial magnetic fields can have for a warm inflation scenario, based on global supersymmetry, with a new-inflation-type potential. This work is motivated by two considerations: first, ma
gnetic fields seem to be present in the universe on all scales, which rises the possibility that they could also permeate the early universe; second, the recent emergence of inflationary models where the inflaton is not assumed to be isolated but instead it is taken as an interacting field, even during the inflationary expansion. The effects of magnetic fields are included resorting to Schwinger proper time method.
When magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are single-domain and magnetically independent, their magnetic properties and the conditions to optimize their efficiency in magnetic hyperthermia applications are now well-understood. However, the influence of magn
etic interactions on magnetic hyperthermia properties is still unclear. Here, we report hyperthermia and high-frequency hysteresis loop measurements on a model system consisting of MNPs with the same size but a varying anisotropy, which is an interesting way to tune the relative strength of magnetic interactions. A clear correlation between the MNP anisotropy and the squareness of their hysteresis loop in colloidal solution is observed : the larger the anisotropy, the smaller the squareness. Since low anisotropy MNPs display a squareness higher than the one of magnetically independent nanoparticles, magnetic interactions enhance their heating power in this case. Hysteresis loop calculations of independent and coupled MNPs are compared to experimental results. It is shown that the observed features are a natural consequence of the formation of chains and columns of MNPs during hyperthermia experiments: in these structures, when the MNP magnetocristalline anisotropy is small enough to be dominated by magnetic interactions, the hysteresis loop shape tends to be rectangular, which enhance their efficiency. On the contrary, when MNPs do not form chains and columns, magnetic interactions reduces the hysteresis loop squareness and the efficiency of MNPs compared to independent ones. The present work should improve the understanding and interpretation of magnetic hyperthermia experiments.
Magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH), the procedure of raising the temperature of tumor cells using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as heating agents, has proven successful in treating some types of cancer. However, the low heating power generated under p
hysiological conditions makes necessary a high local concentration of MNPs at tumor sites. Here, we report how the in vitro heating power of magnetically soft MnFe$_2$O$_4$ nanoparticles can be enhanced by intracellular low-dimensional clusters through a strategy that includes: a) the design of the MNPs to retain Neel magnetic relaxation in high viscosity media, and b) culturing MNP-loaded cells under magnetic fields to produce elongated intracellular agglomerates. Our direct in vitro measurements demonstrated that the specific loss power (SLP) of elongated agglomerates ($SLP=576pm33$ W/g) induced by culturing BV2 cells in situ under a dc magnetic field was increased by a factor of 2 compared to the $SLP=305pm25$ W/g measured in aggregates freely formed within cells. A numerical mean-field model that included dipolar interactions quantitatively reproduced the SLPs of these clusters both in phantoms and in vitro, suggesting that it captures the relevant mechanisms behind power losses under high-viscosity conditions. These results indicate that in situ assembling of MNPs into low-dimensional structures is a sound possible way to improve the heating performance in MFH.
We study the effects of primordial magnetic fields on the inflationary potential in the context of a warm inflation scenario. The model, based on global supersymmetry with a new-inflation-type potential and a coupling between the inflaton and a heavy
intermediate superfield, is already known to preserve the flatness required for slow-roll conditions even after including thermal contributions. Here we show that the magnetic field makes the potential even flatter, retarding the transition and rendering it smoother.
