Abstract

We present results of theoretical approach and mathematical modeling of magnetic hyperthermia produced by aggregates of ferromagnetic nanoparticles immobilized in a non-liquid carrier medium. It is supposed that the particles, due to their magnetic either disperse interaction, can form linear chain-like clusters. The mathematical model of kinetics of the particles remagnetization is formulated and solved for the cases of the single particles as well as for two- and three-particles chains. The limiting cases of the strong and weak internal magnetic anisotropy of the nanoparticles are considered. The results show that the chain-like aggregates reduce the heat production in the case of the strong magnetic anisotropy of the particles and enhances that in the opposite case of the weak anisotropy.
