Plasmonic nanostructures provide a versatile platform for modulating nanoscale energy transfer processes. Herein, we report a magnetoplasmonic nanofluid comprising core-shell MnFe2O4@Fe3O4 nanocubes and gold nanorods that exhibits significantly enhanced magnetic hyperthermia performance under kHz-range alternating magnetic fields. A marked increase in heating efficiency, up to 50% higher specific absorption rate (SAR) compared to the ferrite-only control samples, was observed when the plasmon resonance of the Au nanorods aligned with near-infrared optical transitions of the ferrite nanocubes. This enhancement is attributed to the polariton-like hybridization phenomenon in the near field. Such findings open potential avenues for engineering multifunctional nanomaterials for targeted cancer therapy and theragnostic applications.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
