ABSTRACT
It is well known that heat can be generated when an alternative magnetic želd is applied to magnetic particles. This heating technique is called inductive heating. According to Buckley et al. (2006), the Curie temperature Tc of a magnetic particle may be adjusted by changing its composition. Magnetic implant materials treated with this heating technique have been used for interstitial hyperthermia (Shimizu and Matsui 2003). In addition, functionalized magnetite (Fe3O4) nano particles have great potential for many bioapplications (Majewski and Thierry 2007). However, we should bear in mind that according to Keblinski et al. (2006), a certain size limit applies to such nano particles for effective inductive heating.
