Figure 3. Assessment of heating rates in RF radiation-induced hyperthermia using nanosensitizers.
(a) Heating rate of aqueous suspensions of PSi NPs with different concentrations (red circles), LA-Si NPs (green circles) and gold nanoparticles (black circles) under RF exposure at 5 W/cm2. Dashed lines represent linear fits of the experimental data. (b) Temperature increase of an aqueous suspension of PSi NPs with concentration of 1 mg/mL under its RF irradiation for 1 min. (squires), 2 min. (triangles), and 3 min (circles). Dashed line represents a linear fit of the experimental data.
