Article Synopsis
  • Most research on magnetic hyperthermia has focused on iron oxides and ferrite materials, whereas ternary alloys like NiCuCo have received less attention.
  • The study prepared NiCuCo ternary alloy nanocomposites through mechanical alloying, characterizing their physical properties and confirming results with various analytical techniques, including DFT calculations.
  • Results revealed that these nanoalloys exhibit superparamagnetic behavior, achieve therapeutic temperatures for hyperthermia quickly, and show significant effectiveness against breast cancer cells when combined with an alternating magnetic field (AMF).

We have investigated the magnetic properties of ZnCoO thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition from targets made from pure ZnO combined with metallic Co, CoO or CoO as a function of oxygen pressure in the deposition chamber. We find that the structural and magnetic properties of films grown from targets containing CoO or CoO are similar and can be mapped on to each other by assuming that the films made from CoO require some additional oxygen to make them the same as those grown from CoO. The data suggest that the magnetism in these films is due to oxygen vacancies.
