Material-specific parameters (Refs. 10 and 31) used for simulating the heat dissipation of SPION.

Symbol Parameter specification Value Unit
ca Speed of sound in tissue 1550 m s−1
CV Specific heat of carrier fluid 2080 J kg−1 K−1
H Magnetic field strength 7.96 kA m−1
MS Saturation magnetization 446 kA m−1
Temp Thermodynamic temperature 298 K
VM Magnetic volume Corresponding to a diameter of 9.5 nm m3
VH Hydrodynamic volume Corresponding to a diameter of 120 nm m3
η Viscosity coefficient 0.00235 N s m−2
κ Anisotropy energy density of Fe3O4 23 (the smallest value used by Ref. 10. The higher the value, the higher the heat dissipation.) J m−3
