Increase in temperature of a ferromagnetic substance in rf magnetic field

If one applies an rf magnetic field parallel to a strong static field, temperature of a ferromagnetic substance rises due to ferromagnetic resonance. This phenomenon finds immediate application in the field of hyperthermic oncology. In this work, we have found expression for the increase in temperature when a ferromagnetic material is placed under a static and a varying magnetic field of high frequency through spin wave approach. The numerical value of this increment of local temperature has been estimated for yttrium iron garnet (YIG). We also have examined the possibility of enhancing the temperature of a ferromagnetic material only by applying a strong static field.
