Theory is tested by in vitro experiments and it is shown that, regardless of the character of the relaxation process, linearly and circularly polarized magnetic field excitations, having the same root-mean-square magnitude, are equivalent in terms of heating efficiency.EnglishCircular magnetic fieldFerrofluidMagnetic fluid hyperthermiaCircularly polarizedHeat dissipationHeating efficienciesIn-vitroMagnetic suspensionRoot mean squaresHeatingMagnetic fieldsMagnetic fluidsSuperparamagnetismSuspensions (components)Heating of magnetic fluid systems driven by circularly polarized magnetic fieldArticle10.1016/j.jmmm.2010.05.0281873-4766
