Magnetic hyperthermia performance of magnetite nanoparticle assemblies under different driving fields

The heating performance of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) under an alternating magnetic field (AMF) is dependent on several factors. Optimizing these factors improves the heating efficiency for cancer therapy and meanwhile lowers the MNP treatment dosage. AMF is one of the most easily controllable va...
