Resumo
Nanoparticles based on Mn-ferrite, Mn1−xAxFe2O4, doped with copper, magnesium and
cobalt (A = Cu, Mg ou Co) were synthesized by hydrothermal method under pressure,
with X varying from 0 to 0, 5. Magnetic fluids stable in physiological conditions were
obtained surface-coating the nanoparticle with citric acid. X-ray diffraction confirmed
the spinel structure. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed the success of the
synthesis of the mixed ferrite, where the element composition agreed with the value
expected within an error of 10%. Transmission electron microscopy showed sphericalshaped
nanoparticles, while magnetization data at room temperature allowed the analysis
of the coercivity field (Hc) and the saturation magnetization (Ms). Ms decreased with the
increase of X for the Cu and Mg doped samples, while the opposite effect was observed
for Co doped nanoparticles. Hc increased the higher the X value for all the samples.
The effect on the Cu and Mg-doped ferrites are explained by the increase in particle
size. However, the Co-doped samples, showed a diameter increasing the higher X, but Hc
also increased. In this case the Hc behavior is explained by the increase concentration of
Co and its effect on the magnetic anisotropy which increases for higher Co content. The
magnetic hyperthermia efficiency of the magnetic fluids, for all samples, were investigated
in a field amplitude ranging from 50 Oe to 170 Oe and frequencies from 110 kHz up to
990 kHz. The hyperthermia efficiency decreased with X increasing, considering the case
of 130Oe and 333 kHz, which indicates that at this experimental condition undoped Mnferrite
nanoparticles are better for hyperthermia. In most of the samples it was observed
that the efficiency scaled with the square of the field amplitude, which is in accordance
with Linear Response Theory (LRT). In addition, the hyperthermia frequency dependence
study showed a saturation effect, for some samples, at a frequency higher than 600 kHz.
The experimental data as function of frequency were susccessfully curve fitted with the
LRT model using 2 free parameters related to the effective relaxation time ( ef ) and the
equilibrium susceptibility ( 0). In particular, for theMn-ferrite sample for a field of 130Oe
it is found ef = 5, 2 · 10−7s and 0 = 0, 028. The value of ef can be explained using an
effective magnetic anisotropy value of 2·105 erg/cm3. The value is one order of magnitude
higher than the bulk value, and allowed one to estimate the surface anisotropy contribution
to in the order of 0, 04 erg/cm2. On the other hand, a linear chain formation model, for
this sample consisted of a trimer (3 nanoparticles), can also explain the increase of the
effective anisotropy. Moreover, we found a 0 value lower than the estimated Langevin
susceptibility. In order to explain this, a new model, valid in the linear regime, was
developed considering the contribution from blocked nanoparticles. Indeed, the analysis
of hyperthermia data using this model indicates that the contribution to heat generation
spans from 34.7% of the nanoparticles for a field of 110 Oe up to 52.5% at 170 Oe.
