ABSTRACT<br />
<br />
In this work, isothermal magnetization and initial dc susceptibility of spheroidal, nearly<br />
monodisperse Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 nanoparticles (typical diameter: 20 nm) prepared by a<br />
hydrothermal route have been measured between 10 and 300 K. The high-temperature inverse<br />
magnetic susceptibility was always found to follow a linearly temperature dependence. The<br />
deviation from the standard superparamagnetic behavior is related to dipolar interaction among<br />
nanoparticles. The results are well explained using interacting superparamagnetic model, which<br />
is basically a mean field theory. As a consequence, the dipolar interaction affected the specific<br />
loss power of Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4<br />
<br />
Keywords: magnetic nanoparticles, interacting superparamagnetic model, spinel.<br />

1. INTRODUCTION<br />
<br />
In recent years, magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) therapy has been considered as a<br />
promising therapy for cancer treatment [1]. In the MFH therapy, energy dissipated from<br />
magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in an alternating magnetic field can be used to locally raise the<br />
temperature more above physiological temperature (37oC), in targeted tumor tissues, thereby<br />
destroying them without harm to surrounding healthy tissue [2]. The large specific loss power<br />
(SLP) is the key required characteristic for clinical hyperthermia. The magnetic fluid containing<br />
MNPs with large SLP can minimize the dose of MNPs, which applied to the patient body, while<br />
maintaining enough heat to kill the cancer cell. Zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) and manganese ferrite<br />
(MnFe2O4) nanoparticles are among the most biocompatible agents for MFH. These particles are<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
typically coated with a biocompatible polymer to prevent their aggregation and biodegradation<br />
for in vivo applications [3]. Up to now, theoretical descriptions of magnetic fluids are based on<br />
models consisting of non-interacting particles [4]. Therefore, such behavior has typically been<br />
not observed experimentally in both suspension [5] and biological systems [6]. In the absence of<br />
magnetic fields, interparticle interactions can produce clustering and formation of structures in<br />
suspension [4]. In fact, influence of dipolar interactions on the heating capacity is not so clear<br />
and apparently contradictory results have been reported [7]. The experimental studies regarding<br />
an increase [6], a decrease [8] or a non-monotonic [4] variation of SLP with dipolar interactions<br />
have been reported. From the point of view of theory, most theoretical works agree that SLP<br />
tend to decrease in the presence of strong interactions [4] although a limited increase in a<br />
restricted range of MNPs concentration has also been reported [8]. One of the existing<br />
approaches is the interacting superparamagnetic (ISP) model [9], which is particularly suitable to<br />
account for the effect of dipolar interactions on otherwise superparamagnetic nanoparticles. In<br />
this work, we show that the dynamical aspects of dipolar interaction actually play a major role<br />
on the specific loss power of Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 nanoparticles.<br />
<br />
2. EXPERIMENTAL<br />
<br />
Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) having mean diameter of about 20 nm were prepared<br />
by a hydrothermal process employing a Teflon lined stainless steel autoclave. More detailed<br />
information on the synthesis of Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 NPs is available in ref. [10]. FeCl3, MnCl2,<br />
ZnCl2, HCl and NaOH (Merck 99.9 %) were used as received. The FeCl3, MnCl2, and ZnCl2<br />
were dissolved in aqueous hydrochloric acid solution, and then the sodium hydroxide was<br />
slowly added into the solution. The reaction mixture was stirred for about 30 min. Finally, the<br />
solution was transferred into a Teflon lined stainless-steel autoclave with a filling degree of<br />
80 %. After heating at 180oC for 12 h, the autoclave was cooled down to room temperature. The<br />
products were washed several times with hot de-ionized water and acetone and finally dried in<br />
an oven at 80 oC for 5 h. A X-ray diffractometer (XRD) D 5000 with CuK ( = 0.15406 nm)<br />
radiation was used to determine crystal structure and to estimate grain sizes of the samples. The<br />
particle size of sample was determined by using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron<br />
microscopy (TEM) (JEOL, JEM-1010). All magnetic measurements were carried out on<br />
Quantum Design Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS) system. A homemade unit, in<br />
which a RDO generator produced AC magnetic field with the amplitude in the range 50 – 80 Oe<br />
at a fixed frequency of 178 kHz, was utilized to measure the magnetic inductive heating of<br />
Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4. The temperature change of the fluid was directly monitored by dipping an<br />
optical sensor into the fluid. The concentrations of the fluid, NPs dispersed in water, were 3<br />
mg/mL, 5 mg/mL and 7 mg/mL.<br />
<br />
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION<br />
<br />
The XRD pattern of Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 nanoparticles is shown in Fig. 1 where clear peaks<br />
corresponding to Bragg diffraction from (220), (311), (222) (400), (422), (333), (440), (620) and<br />
(533) planes. It is well concord with standard JCPDS (No. 10-0319). No other oxide (Fe2O3) or<br />
impurity peaks were observed which infers the phase purity of the Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4. In addition,<br />
the calculated lattice constant of 8.430 Å reveals the cubic structure of Mn 0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4. Using<br />
Scherrer’s equation, the calculated crystallite size is 20 nm for the high intensity (311) plane.<br />
The size, shape and morphologies of the Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 nanoparticles were further determined<br />

by TEM. The TEM image (Fig. 2a) evidenced that the particles are having almost spherical in<br />
shape. The mean particle size was estimated to be 20 nm, which is close to that obtained from<br />
the XRD data, suggesting that each particle here is a single nano-crystallite.<br />

Figure 3a presents the zero-field-cooled (ZFC) magnetization profile of Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4<br />
nanoparticles under an applied field of 100 Oe. The Curie temperature (TC) was estimated to be<br />
450 K. It should be noticed that TC value of our sample are much higher than the reported TC<br />
value of its bulk counterpart (343 K) [11]. However, no finding the appearance of blocking<br />
temperature (TB) in sample, which can be due to the existence of strong interparticle interactions<br />
origin from the multi-domain behavior of the sample. Therefore, to test this hypothesis of our<br />
system, we have estimated critical diameter for single domain by following equation [12],<br />
(1)<br />
in which Dcr is the critical diameter, wp is the energy density of the magnetic domain and Ms is<br />
the spontaneous magnetization. It is clear that the particles can be considered as single domain<br />
when particle size is smaller than Dcr. Because the Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 ferrite is a crystal with a<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
cubic symmetry, the energy density of the magnetic domain can be calculated by following<br />
expression [12]<br />
(2)<br />
where kB is the Boltzmann constant, TC is the Curie temperature, K1 is the magnetocrystalline<br />
anisotropy constant, and a is the crystalline lattice constant. By substituting K1 = 3.8 × 104<br />
erg/cm3 [13], TC = 343 K [10], kB = 1.38 × 10-16 erg/K, and calculated lattice constant a = 8.45 ×<br />
10-8 cm, we obtained wp = 0.226 erg/cm2. Putting in Ms = 418 G [14] into Eq. (2), Dcr =15.5 nm<br />
is obtained. The fact that this value is smaller than the experimental value (20 nm) indicates the<br />
multi-domain nature of the sample.<br />

<br />
As known, in paramagnetic regime, where the magnitude of the magnetic moments<br />
associated to magnetic ions does not change with temperature, the physically significant<br />
information can be extracted plotting 1/ as a function of temperature by the Curie-Weiss law<br />
[9]:<br />
(3)<br />
<br />
in which, N is the number of MNPs per unit volume and the saturation magnetization is Ms =<br />
N . This was done in Fig. 3b for our sample. The curve shows that the ideal Curie-Weiss law<br />
correspondence for a linear behavior is indeed measured at high temperature and deviations from<br />
linearity at very low temperatures, which can be ascribed to some type of particle blocking. The<br />
straight line constantly intercept the temperature axis estimating the positive value of θ, implies<br />
a predominant ferromagnetic interaction among magnetic moments. The origin of the<br />
ferromagnetic interaction is attributed to dipolar coupling. Therefore, in this case, it could be of<br />
interest to check for the presence of dipolar interactions between the Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 MNPs to<br />
better predict the magnetic response of this sample. A comprehensive analysis of the possible<br />
presence of dipolar interactions was carried out with the help of a mean-field model, recently<br />
proposed by Allia et al. [9]. The use of this model could allow us to estimate dipolar interactions<br />
at a temperature region, in which the so-called interacting superparamagnetic (ISP) regime<br />
describes the behavior of interacting nanomagnets. It is well-known that in superparamagnetic<br />
nanoparticles, their hysteretic magnetization curves are well described in terms of Langevin<br />
functions and in some cases, the classical ‘‘superparamagnetic’’ scaling law of the reduced<br />
magnetization M/Ms with Ms(H/T) has been approximately observed; at low temperatures,<br />

deviations from the Ms(H/T) law in samples containing chemically homogeneous particles are<br />
usually ascribed to single-particle blocking and of random, collective interactions among<br />
particles [15].<br />

<br />
Figure 4 shows the reduced magnetization as a function either of Ms(H/T) (Fig. 4a) and<br />
H/Ms (Fig. 4b). It is clearly that our sample don’t obey the classical ‘‘superparamagnetic’’<br />
scaling law. This analysis confirms the inner coherence of the ISP model. On the other hand, the<br />
ISP model could be used to describe for the real magnetic interaction behavior of<br />
Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 nanoparticles. In the case of magnetic nanoparticles with the interacting<br />
superparamagnetic behavior, the magnetization vs. magnetic field can be described by a<br />
modified Langevin function [9]:<br />
(4)<br />
in which Ms = Nμ is the saturation magnetization, kB is Boltzmann constant, T* is related to the<br />
dipolar energy εD through the relation [9],<br />
(5)<br />
The best fits with Eq. (4) to the data are shown by the lines in Fig. 4b, proving the validity<br />
of the ISP approach. However, in order to gain a deeper insight on this problem, we determined<br />
the value of the effective magnetic anisotropy constant (Keff) from the magnetization data at 10 K<br />
using the law of approach to saturation [16]:<br />
(6)<br />
where Ms is the saturation magnetization, f is the high-field susceptibility, and B is function of<br />
Ms and K, and is given by the following expression [15]:<br />
<br />
(7)<br />
<br />
From the magnetization curves near the saturation region, B may be deduced. Using Eq.<br />
(7), Keff may be calculated from the above expression. The values of Keff is found to be 1.13 x 106<br />
erg/cm3, which is larger than the estimated value for bulk ferrite (8.5 x 105 erg/cm3 [17]). This<br />
increase in the effective anisotropy can be associated with the enhanced surface anisotropies in<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
the nanoparticles. A further confirmation of the veracity of the anisotropy constant value was<br />
obtained from the values of Hc at 10 K. For example, for an assembly of noninteracting<br />
randomly oriented single-domain cubic particles the value of coercivity can be determined by<br />
the expression Hc = 0.64Keff/ Ms, while for uniaxial particles Hc = 0.98Keff/Ms. The values of Hc<br />
are 1498 Oe and 2247 Oe by the law of approach to saturation, respectively. Variations with<br />
respect to these theoretical values can be associated, for example, with interparticle interactions<br />
[15].<br />
In order to study the AC magnetic heating characteristic of Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 nanoparticles,<br />
the dependence of the heat generation on altering the applied magnetic fields of the sample was<br />
measured at fixed frequencies of 178 kHz and under different magnetic field amplitudes from 40<br />
to 80 Oe. The strength and frequency of the applied AC magnetic field is chosen so that the<br />
high values of SAR is achieved maintaining the safety limit for application in hyperthermia<br />
treatment (Hf ≤ 5×109 Am‒ 1s‒ 1 ) [7]. The experiments were performed for 25 min with<br />
nanoparticles at three different conentrations, viz. 3.0, 5.0, and 7.0 mg/mL. The Specific<br />
Absorption Rate for the nanoparticles can be determined using the following expression,<br />
(8)<br />
th<br />
where Ci is the specific heat capacity of the i component in ferrofluid, mi is the mass of<br />
component (Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 nanoparticles and water, respectively), m is the mass of the<br />
Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 nanoparticles in ferrofluid and dT/dt is the initial slope of the time dependent of<br />
temperature curve. In these experiments, we used the linear relations in ranges 0 – 5 minutes<br />
intervals in order to calculate dT/dt. The results for temperature rise are shown in Fig. 5. It can<br />
be seen that in low applied field (40, 50 Oe), after about 20 minutes of heating, the temperature<br />
of the sample comes to saturation, however, a sharp increase in temperature is noticed for<br />
higher strength of the applied field. This shows that power loss due to Brownian relaxation<br />
dominates at smaller applied field (40, 50 Oe), while that due to Neel’s relaxation favors<br />
comparatively at larger applied field (60, 70 and 80 Oe). The initial temperature rising rate and<br />
SLP of samples was listed in Tab. 1.<br />

As can be seen from Table 1, values of dT/dt for Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 NPs fluids increases as<br />
almost a linear trend with the ferrite concentration. In addition, it is interesting that when<br />
increasing Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 NPs concentration in fluids, the SLP values light decrease, which<br />
could be related to effect of interparticle interactions. To analyze the effect of dipolar interaction<br />

between colloidal clusters on the SLP of magnetic fluids, we focus on fluids with low<br />
aggregation. As shown in Table 1, the highest SAR value is 58.7 W/g for Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 NPs<br />
fluids with concentration of 3 mg/mL and decreasing with the increasing of Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 NPs<br />
concentration. The increasing of SLP value when decreasing concentration of Mn 0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4<br />
NPs fluids was revealed in the recent report of Presa et al. [18]. They suggest that magnetic<br />
interactions take place inside a particle (magnetic cluster) seem to be responsible for the<br />
changing of SLP value. For superparamagnetic fluids, hysterisis is vanished, SLP value was<br />
dominated by Néel and Brown relaxation loss. The particle-particle interactions strongly effect<br />
on the Néel relaxation time of heating dissipation, resluting in decreasing SLP value when<br />
increasing strengh of interactions [19, 20]. In our case, we may imply that the heating capacity<br />
was effected by the interactions between magnetic colloidal clusters. These interactions not only<br />
affect on the relaxation of each moment in Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 particles (Néel relaxation), but also<br />
impact strongly on rotation of each clusters that mean impact on Brownian relaxation loss. When<br />
decreasing Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 concentration the distance between clusters increases and reduces<br />
strength of dipole interactions so that the rotation of clusters smoother that make the Brown<br />
relaxation processes more convenient. At this time the contribution of Brown relaxation loss on<br />
heating dissipation is dominated. The increasing of SLP value with the decreasing<br />
Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 NPs concentration is as consequence of Brown loss contribution. We imply that<br />
magnetic interaction between clusters plays an importance role in heating capacity of magnetic<br />
fluid because it affects directly on Brown loss. The effect of the dipolar interaction on the<br />
specific absorption rate of iron oxide nanoparticles have been described in previous works [21,<br />
22]. Furthermore, there are also interesting reports on the impact of particle interactions on the<br />
collective behavior of multicore nanoparticles ferrofluids for hyperthermia [23, 24]. The<br />
magnetic ordering and exchange interactions within the multicore nanostructures may lead to<br />
increase a tenfold of SLP for multicore nanoparticle systems with respect to that of single core<br />
materials as recent report of Lartigue et al. [23]. However, further studies are necessary to<br />
describe how magnetic interaction between clusters effect on each heating dissipation loss.<br />

4. CONCLUSION<br />
<br />
In summary, we studied the role of the magnetic interaction between magnetic clusters on<br />
heating dissipation of magnetic fluid of prepared Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 nanoparticles in an alternating<br />
field. Our results implied that magnetic interactions between magnetic clusters affect directly to<br />
the large value of the SLP for Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 fluids. Reducing Mn0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 nanoparticles<br />
concentration in fluid means decreasing dipolar interaction between colloidal particles and help<br />

colloidal particles move easier in fluid. Therefore, SAR achieved higher value at lower<br />
concentration. Maximum SAR of 58.7 W/g is achieved in the AC magnetic field of 80 Oe while<br />
the frequency is set to 178 kHz. Thus, these nanoparticles could also be used as effective heat<br />
mediator in AC induction heating.<br />
