Figure 2. Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) response to alternating magnetic fields and thermotherapy.

Figure 2

Application of applied magnetic fields (arrows) orients the MNPs on the right from their random orientation on the left in the absence of magnetic fields. Random orientation on the left produces thermal losses allowing for hyperthermia generation by the MNPs.
