ABSTRACT Magnetic nanoparticles generate heat when exposed to an alternating magnetic field, making them useful as thermoseeds for efficient hyperthermia treatment of deep‐seated cancer inside the body. Among them, the Curie point of zinc–cobalt ferrite can be tuned within the 40°C range by controll...
