Abstract

To develop materials for achieving local hyperthermia, we investigate the heating of various ferrite and metal powders by applying an external AC magnetic field. In comparison with magnetite powder, which has often been used in previous experiments, Mg-ferrite powder is more applicable for achieving local hyperthermia.
