Table 1. The measured and calculated signals per particle for different MNPsa.
MNPs (diameter) | Ms (10−16 emu) | M30 Oe (10−16 emu) | A1 (10−18 emu/(nm)1.3) | A2 (10−20 emu/(nm)1.3) | B (Measured Signal,10−6 μV) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
10 nm | 0.82 | 0.02 | 0.38 | 0.94 | 2.42 |
20 nm | 7.8 | 1.1 | 3.3 | 46.5 | 15.1 |
30 nm | 10.8 | 1.05 | 4.16 | 40.43 | 22.1 |
50 nm | 81 | 23 | 26.33 | 747.77 | 177.08 |
100 nm | 368 | 18 | 84.65 | 414.07 | 305.56 |
aAll the values listed above are calculated for one particle. The measured signal per MNP (B) is calculated from bound numbers of MNPs, size of sensor (120 × 120 μm), and measured signal. We statistically assume that all the MNPs are ideally bound uniformly and every MNP has the same contribution to signal. A1 = Ms/(radius + 57 nm)1.3, A2 = M30 Oe/(radius + 57 nm)1.3. It is assumed that the bound number for the 10 nm MNPs is 230/μm2.
