Introduction: Adjustable magnetic fields are essential for precisely steering drug-loaded magnetic nanoparticles in cancer therapy. Since electromagnets require high currents to achieve a strong magnetic force, this paper presents a new approach combining electromagnets and permanent magnets.

Objective: The basic idea of the hybrid array is to use the strong and low-cost magnetic field of permanent magnets and superimpose them with the field of electromagnets via a Halbach arrangement.
