In the case of microwires (MWs), it is not clear at all since they undergo non-coherent reversal mechanisms that decrease the coercive field and, consequently, the heating efficiency should be much smaller than the nanoparticles. However, colossal heating efficiency has been observed in MWs with values ranging from 1000 to 2800W/g, depending on length and number of microwires, at field as low as H = 36 Oe at f = 625 kHz. It is inferred that this colossal heating is due to the Joule effect originated by the eddy currents induced by the induction field B = M + chi H parallel to longitudinal axis. This effect is observed in MWs with nearly zero magnetostrictive constant as Fe_ (2.25)Co_(72.75)Si_(10)B_(15) of 30 mu m magnetic diameter and 5 mm length, a length for which the inner core domain of the MWs becomes axial. This colossal heating is reached with only 24 W of power supplied making these MWs very promising for inductive heating applications at a very low energy cost.engAtribución 3.0 Españahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/journal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-57434-8https://www.nature.comopen access538.9Glass-coated microwiresMagnetic-propertiesFe-richHyperthermiaNanoparticlesOptimizationGamma-fe2o3WiresFieldFlowFísica de materialesFísica del estado sólido2211 Física del Estado Sólido
