The coupled magnetic and mechanical motion of a ferromagnetic nanoparticle in a viscous fluid is considered within the dynamical approach. The equation based on the total momentum conservation law is used for the description of the mechanical rotation, while the modified Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation is utilized for the description of the internal magnetic dynamics. The exact expressions for the particles trajectories and the power loss are obtained in the linear approximation. The comparison with the results of other widespread approaches, such as the model of fixed particle and the model of rigid dipole, is performed. It is established that in the small oscillations mode the damping precession of the nanopartile magnetic moment is the main channel of energy dissipation, but the motion of the nanoparticle easy axis can significantly influence the value of the resulting power loss.

We study the effect of an elliptically polarized magnetic field on a system of non-interacting, single-domain ferromagnetic nanoparticles characterized by a uniform distribution of easy axis directions. Our main goal is to determine the average magnetization of this system and the power loss in it. In order to calculate these quantities analytically, we develop a general perturbation theory for the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation and find its steady-state solution for small magnetic field amplitudes. On this basis, we derive the second-order expressions for the average

We focus on an in-depth study of the forced dynamics of a ferromagnetic single-domain uniaxial nanoparticle placed in a viscous fluid and driven by an external rotating magnetic field. The process of conversion of magnetic and mechanical energies into heat is a physical basis for magnetic fluid hyperthermia that is very promising for cancer treatment. The dynamical approximation allows us to establish the limits of the heating rate and understand the logic of selection of the system parameters to optimize the therapy. Based on the developed analytical and numerical tools, we analyze from a single viewpoint the synchronous and asynchronous rotation of the nanoparticle or/and its magnetization in the following three cases. For the beginning, we actualize the features of the internal magnetic dynamics, when the nanoparticle body is supposed to be fixed. Then, we study the rotation of the whole nanoparticle, when its magnetization is supposed to be locked to the crystal lattice. And, finally, we realize the analysis of the coupled motion, when the internal magnetic dynamics is performed in the rotated nanoparticle body. In all these cases, we describe analytically the uniform mode, or synchronous rotation along with an external field, while the nonuniform mode, or asynchronous rotation, is investigated numerically.

In this paper, the magnetic dynamics and mechanical rotation about the center of mass of a uniaxial ferromagnetic fine particle in a viscous liquid are described using the classical approach. In particular, the synchronous rotation of the magnetization vector and unit vector, associated with the anisotropy axis, together with a circularly polarized external magnetic field is considered. The feature of this mode for the given system is that both the magnetization and anisotropy axis do not lie in the plane of the field polarization. This fact is explained by the presence of effective permanent field, perpendicular to the polarization plane. Obtained results allow to perform more realistic evaluations of the power loss of an external field interacting with a ferromagnetic fluid.
