Abstract

Abstract
In this research synthesizes nanocrystalline CuFe2O4 spinel structure using co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) are utilized in order to study crystalline size, lattice parameters, microstructure and optical and magnetic properties of the formed nanopowders. Moreover, the induction heating behavior of the formed nanopowders with alternative magnetic field was also determined based on the change of specific absorption rate (SAR) or specific loss power (SLP) with the synthesis conditions. Indeed, heating properties of the CuFe2O4 nanoparticles in an alternating magnetic field at 150-300 kHz were estimated. The specific heat rate SAR values were in the range from 125 to 350 W/g. Finally, large SAR values are obtained using low magnetic field, making Cu ferrite appropriate for hyperthermia treatment of cancer. These results will help us to apply to complete in this trend of tumor treatment.
