Magnetic nanoparticles, considered in a broad sense as passive sensors, show the ability to detect an alternating magnetic field and to transduce it into a localized increase of temperature. In this context, the high biocompatibility, easy synthesis procedure and easily tunable magnetic properties of ferrite powders make them ideal candidates. In particular, the tailoring of their chemical composition and cation distribution allows the control of their magnetic properties, tuning them towards the strict demands of these heat-assisted biomedical applications. In this work, Co0.76Zn0.24Fe2O4, Li0.375Zn0.25Fe2.375O4 and ZnFe2O4 mixed-structure ferrite powders were synthesized in a \u2018dry gel\u2019 form by a sol-gel auto-combustion method. Their microstructural properties and cation distribution were obtained by X-ray diffraction characterization. Static and dynamic magnetic measurements were performed revealing the connection between the cation distribution and magnetic behavior. Particular attention was focused on the effect of Co2+ and Li+ ions on the magnetic properties at a magnetic field amplitude and the frequency values according to the practical demands of heat-assisted biomedical applications. In this context, the specific loss power (SLP) values were evaluated by ac-hysteresis losses and thermometric measurements at selected values of the dynamic magnetic fields.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20072151","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,13]],"date-time":"2020-04-13T10:41:52Z","timestamp":1586774512000},"page":"2151","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Specific Loss Power of Co\/Li\/Zn-Mixed Ferrite Powders for Magnetic Hyperthermia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3174-8092","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriele","family":"Barrera","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanoscience and Materials Division, Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRiM), Strada delle Cacce 91, I-10135 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2978-7615","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Coisson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanoscience and Materials Division, Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRiM), Strada delle Cacce 91, I-10135 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Federica","family":"Celegato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanoscience and Materials Division, Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRiM), Strada delle Cacce 91, I-10135 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Martino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanoscience and Materials Division, Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRiM), Strada delle Cacce 91, I-10135 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Priyanka","family":"Tiwari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Magnetic Materials Laboratory, School of Physics, Devi Ahilya University, Khandwa road Campus, Indore 452001, India"},{"name":"Department of Physics, Prestige Institute of Engineering Management and Research, Indore 452010, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roshni","family":"Verma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Magnetic Materials Laboratory, School of Physics, Devi Ahilya University, Khandwa road Campus, Indore 452001, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4658-9848","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shashank N.","family":"Kane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Magnetic Materials Laboratory, School of Physics, Devi Ahilya University, Khandwa road Campus, Indore 452001, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8544-4599","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric","family":"Mazaleyrat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Systems &amp; Applications of Information &amp; Energy Technologies (SATIE), ENS University Paris-Saclay, CNRS 8029, 61 Av. du Pdt.
