TL;DR: In this paper, three types of theories suitable for describing hysteresis loops of magnetic nanoparticles are presented and compared to numerical simulations: equilibrium functions, Stoner-Wohlfarth model based theories (SWMBTs), and a linear response theory (LRT) using the Neel-Brown relaxation time.

TL;DR: In this article, the Stoner-Wohlfarth model based theories (SWMBTs) and linear response theory (LRT) were compared to numerical simulations to calculate the hysteresis area of magnetic nanoparticles in an alternating magnetic field.

TL;DR: In this article, a model system consisting of metallic iron nanoparticles with a size ranging from 5.5 to 28 nm is extensively studied and several features expected theoretically are observed for the first time experimentally: i) the correlation between the nanoparticle diameter and their coercive field, ii) the correlations between the amplitude of the coercive field and the losses, iii) the variation of the optimal size with the amplitude the magnetic field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of magnetic interactions on magnetic hyperthermia properties is still unclear, but the authors have shown that magnetic interactions enhance the heating power of magnetically independent nanoparticles.

TL;DR: A tunable organometallic synthesis of monodisperse iron carbide and core/shell iron/iron carbide nanoparticles displaying a high magnetization and good air-stability results in unprecedented hyperthermia properties at moderate magnetic fields, in the range of medical treatments.
