Using Magnetometry to Monitor Cellular Incorporation and Subsequent Biodegradation of Chemically Synthetized Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

Abstract:
An estimate of the rate of absorption of the electromagnetic microwaves by magnetic nanoparticles in organisms is presented. The absorption takes place due to the energy dissipation at the ferromagnetic resonance. Based on the known solution of the Landau-Lifshitz equation, the imaginary part of the complex magnetic susceptibility is evaluated that gives the absorption rate. It is shown that even in the conditions of thermal isolation of the particles, their temperature growth would be insignificant at absorption of the emission with the energy flux density of the order of 1 mW/cm2, and the given mechanism is unrelated to the observable effects of low-intensity microwaves.
