Abstract: Magnetic nanoparticles with a high specific absorption rate (SAR) are developed and used in mouse models of cancer. The behavior of the collection of magnetic nanoparticles is critical in determining the heat dose, as shown by two nominally identical systems of iron oxide core/shell nanoparticles.
