The effect of sample holder geometry on electromagnetic heating of nanoparticle and NaCl solutions at 13.56 MHz

IEEE Trans Biomed Eng. 2012 Dec;59(12):3468-74. doi: 10.1109/TBME.2012.2219049. Epub 2012 Sep 14.

Abstract

Electromagnetic absorption and subsequent heating of nanoparticle solutions and simple NaCl ionic solutions is examined for biomedical applications in the radiofrequency range at 13.56 MHz. It is shown via both theory and experiment that for in vitro measurements the shape of the solution container plays a major role in absorption and heating.
