Abstract

A comparative study of heat generation in superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles in aqueous and hexane solutions in the presence of external magnetic field is presented. The field strength dependence of the specific absorption rate (SAR) complies with the power law of second order. The concave-convex change of SAR-H curves substantially illustrates the importance of particle dispersion in the fluid.
