Fig. 2.

Dimensionless parameter to define conditions for localized and collective heating. (a)–(c) Schematic of localized heating versus collective heating. (d) Dimensionless parameter ξ to differentiate localized heating and collective heating. Τ is the energy input duration and n is the nanoparticle density. The solid line indicates ξ = 1, while the dashed lines indicate ξ = 10 and 0.1, respectively. MH: molecular hyperthermia.
