Soft ferromagnetic microwires with excellent inductive heating properties for clinical hyperthermia applications

Abstract

Growing interest in the use of magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications has led researchers to investigate a multitude of treatment possibilities to use clinical hyperthermia for cancer therapy. Soft ferromagnetic amorphous glass-coated microwires have been shown to be easy to produce, control, and insulate for biocompatibility along with their outstanding magnetic properties (large saturation magnetization and large shape anisotropy). Our research provides the first exploration of the radio frequency alternating field responses of magnetically soft Co-rich glass-coated microwires for possible applications in clinical hyperthermia.
