Abstract
We synthesized mixed α and γ-Fe_2O_3 nanoparticles and investigated their toxic effects against HeLa cells under induced AC (alternating current) magnetic-fields and photoexcited conditions at room temperature. The findings revealed that the cellkilling percentage was increased with increasing dose for all types of treatments. Finally, 99% cancer cells were destructed at 1.2 mL dose when exposed to combined AC magnetic-field and photoexcited conditions (T_3) whereas 89 and 83 % of HeLa cells were killed under only AC magnetic-field induced (T_1) or only photoexcited (T_2) condition at the same dose.
