【 摘 要 】

One of the simplest way to characterize the heating efficiency of magnetic fluids used in hyperthermia treatment is the calorimetric measurement of the specific loss power with direct temperature detection. However, the performance of metallic sensors in an alternating magnetic field is degraded by the self-heating of the probes, and electromagnetic interference can be also significant. In our double cell differential thermometric system these disturbing effects can be compensated. Specific loss power measurements of EMG700 magnetic fluid with negative temperature coefficient thermistors in differential configuration are presented, and control measurements were performed with an optical fiber thermometer in f=470kHz–1020kHz frequency and H=0.13kAm−1–1.19kAm−1 magnetic field strength range. We found that the specific loss power is proportional to the frequency and shows a quadratic dependence on the field strength in the low field strength region, therefore we calculated the intrinsic loss power of the fluid from the measured specific loss power. At this field conditions intrinsic loss power up to 0.53nHm2kg−1 was determined.
