| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have attempted to obtain a chemically stable ferromagnet made up of inexpensive and safe elements. The application of sinusoidal magnetic fields can heat a ferromagnet. Therefore, the ferromagnet can be applied to the hyperthermia therapy that uses slightly higher temperatures to give damages to cancer cells.
We succeeded in synthesis of a potassium lanthanum-iron oxide that had the comparable magnetization with that of iron oxide practical magnets. The magnetization was 59.6 emu/g at room temperature and 96.3 emu/g at 5 K.
