(a) Labelling the tunable variables in relative absorption ratio calculations for spherical nanoparticles. (b)-(i) Relative absorption ratio Fabs for metallic nanospheres in tissue as a function of radius (R) and incident electromagnetic wave frequency (f). (b) Pancreas and Au. (c) Pancreas and Ag. (d) Pancreas and Pt. (e) Pancreas and Cu. (f) Cervix and Pt. (g) Breast and Pt. (h) Brain and Pt. (i) Breast and Au. Semi-axes (i.e., radii in the case of spheres) that violate the electrostatic approximation are excluded from all plots, thus these results represent lower bounds of differential heating.
