Instability of Hyperthermia Temperature for Magnetic Nanoparticles of Low Anisotropy Constant Due to Nonlinear Characteristics.

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) subjected to external alternating magnetic field can induce heat in MNPs due to hysteresis, which is usually employed for tumor hyperthermia. An effective hyperthermia treatment should selectively kill the tumor cells without damaging the ambient healthy tissue. Hence, it is important for hyperthermia to correctly control the alternating magnetic field-induced temperature of MNPs in the tumor.

Processing Characteristics and Parametric Effects on Picosecond Laser Nanoscaled Patterning of Poly(methyl methacrylate).

Characteristics of picosecond laser processing for poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) are studied in this text. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) can be applied to micro- or nano-scale electronic devices. Short-pulsed laser is usually used for noncontact processing of nanoscale patterning of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA).

Hyperthermia Temperature of Magnetic Fluid with Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles Subjected to an Alternating Magnetic Field.

This paper conducts the thermal analysis of magnetic fluid with superparamagnetic nanoparticles subjected to an alternating magnetic field. Magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) provides a potential method for cancer treatment, which has fewer side effects than chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Superparamagnetic nanoparticles dispersed in water are suitable for safe application of MFH.

Non-Fourier two-temperature heat conduction model used to analyze ultrashort-pulse laser processing of nanoscale metal film.

This paper utilizes non-Fourier two-temperature heat conduction model to investigate the temperature field in nanometer-sized thin films irradiated by an ultrashort-pulse laser. Ultrashort-pulse laser processing for nanometer-sized devices is usually applied in MEMS and nanotechnology. For ultrashort-pulse laser interaction with metals, the two-temperature model was proposed to describe the heat transport in metals due to a substantial nonequilibrium between the electron and lattice temperature.

Investigation into pulse laser heating of nanoscale Au film using dual-phase-lag model.

In this study the thermal field is presented for pulse laser processing of nanoscale Au films. Fourier law is inadequate for describing the heat conduction in nanoscale process due to the boundary scattering and the finite relaxation time of heat carriers. In the regime where the particle description of electrons and phonons is valid, the Boltzmann equation is the most accurate option to model heat transfer in such problems.
