Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been extensively explored as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. With the increasing complexity in the structure of modern MNPs, the classical Solomon–Bloembergen–Morgan and the outer‐sphere quantum mechanical theories established on simplistic models...
