Confirmation of highly stable 10 nm sized Fe3O4 nanoparticle formation at room temperature and understanding of heat-generation under AC magnetic fields for potential application in hyperthermia

Iron oxide nanoparticles such as magnetite (Fe3O4) and maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) have been used in biological applications due to their high biocompatibility, i.e., as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging, a hyperthermia agent in cancer treatment, a drug carrier, etc. There are debates on the fo...
