Unintentional overheating of the healthy tissue may be prevented by choosing an appropriate magnetic material, whose heating efficiency decreases with increasing temperature and a self-controlled temperature regime is reached. Nanoparticles of CoZn-ferrite may serve this purpose as their size, composition and ion distribution control their transition to the superparamagnetic or paramagnetic state. The magnetic cores of Co0.4Zn0.6Fe2O4+γ with two different sizes were prepared by the coprecipitation method followed by annealing and mechanical treatment. The subsequent silica encapsulation of the samples led to colloidally stable non-toxic water suspensions. The magnetic losses were determined from AC hysteresis loops and compared with the calorimetric measurements of the particle suspensions.
