Magnetic hyperthermia — is the name given to an experimental cancer treatment. It is based on the fact that magnetic nanoparticles, when subjected to an alternating magnetic field, produce heat. As a consequence, if magnetic nanoparticles are put inside a tumor and the… … Wikipedia
Magnetic catalysis — is a phenomenon in quantum field theory which explains a spontaneous breaking of flavor or chiral symmetry, triggered by the presence of an external magnetic field. Contents 1 General description 2 Possible applications 2.1 Chiral symmetry brea … Wikipedia
Magnetic storage — and magnetic recording are terms from engineering referring to the storage of data on a magnetized medium. Magnetic storage uses different patterns of magnetization in a magnetizable material to store data and is a form of non volatile memory.… … Wikipedia
Magnetic circular dichroism — (MCD) is the differential absorption of left and right circularly polarized (LCP and RCP) light, induced in a sample by a strong magnetic field oriented parallel to the direction of light propagation. MCD measurements can detect transitions which … Wikipedia
magnetic resonance — n. (Physics) A phenomenon resulting from quantization in the magnetic field of electrons or atoms or molecules or nuclei exposed to an external magnetic field, by which a narrow frequency band of radio waves may be absorbed and re emitted by the… … The Collaborative International Dictionary of English
