I am performing magnetic hyperthermia experiments with iron oxide nanoparticles. I am facing a strange problem. Though my system is capable of producing higher coil current (we can calculate the magnetic field for a typical coil of known dimension from current), I am not being able to increase the current beyond certain value. If I place a solid metal piece inside the coil, I am able to increase the current, but for nanoparticle specimens in typical glass vials, power is just not getting transferred to the system from tank circuit. I am able to reach a maximum magnetic field of 0.8 kAmp/meter, whereas, in literature I often see magnetic field values in the order of 10-20 kAmp/meter for such nanoparticle systems of comparable weight percentage. My question is how to increase the coil current?
Am I missing something? I would like to get some help in this regard. I am open for comments and suggestions.
Advanced thank you.
