Cancer cells develop resistance to chemotherapy, and the side effects encountered seriously limit effectiveness of treatments. For these reasons, search for alternative therapies that target cancer without affecting healthy tissues is currently one most active areas research on cancer. The present study focuses a recently proposed approach cell destruction based targeted triggering spontaneous death through mechanical vibration anisotropic magnetic micro/nanoparticles attached membranes at...
Magnetic nanoparticles are receiving an increasing interest for various biotechnological applications due to the capability that they offer exert actuation on biological species via external magnetic fields. In this study, two types of particles recently proposed cancer cells treatment were compared. Both prepared by top-down approaches and imitate properties superparamagnetic particles. One type is made a single layer has vortex configuration. The second multilayered structure called...
We report the observation of multiple permeability peaks for thin ferromagnetic films, in 10 MHz to 6 GHz range. This behavior is correlated with presence perpendicular anisotropy and stripe domains. Because much smaller than saturation magnetization layer, we propose an adaptation classical domain mode resonance model configuration oblique stripes.

Using a top-down approach, synthetic antiferromagnetic micro/nanoparticles usable for biological applications were prepared. These particles exhibit “superparamagneticlike” properties. Their magnetic susceptibility can be accurately controlled by the thickness of constituting layers. When dispersed in solution, striking differences their interactions are observed depending on susceptibility. Above threshold, phenomenon self-polarization is zero applied field, resulting gradual agglomeration...
Iron oxide nanoparticles have received remarkable attention in different applications. For biomedical applications, they need to possess suitable core size, acceptable hydrodynamic diameter, high saturation magnetization, and reduced toxicity.
