A number of materials are studied in the field of magnetic hyperthermia. In general, the most promising ones appear to be iron oxide particle nanosystems. This is also indicated in some clinical trial studies where iron-based oxides were used.

This paper presents dynamic changes in ferrofluid properties during a magnetic field sweep. The study reported was performed on a ferrofluid with a double layer of surfactant used to prevent aggregation of particles. The ferrofluid parameters (the radius and volume of the cluster, the elastic force constant) were studied by the ultrasound wave absorption method as a function of the dynamically changing magnetic field.

In this way Brillouin hypersonic experiments complete the ultrasonic results. The present investigation includes a careful analysis of the accuracy of the results.
