Modeling of self-controlling hyperthermia based on nickel alloy ferrofluids: Proposition of new nanoparticles

► Systematic calculation of magnetic properties of Ni-alloy NPs with composition has been performed. ► Optimum composition and particle size for self-controlling hyperthermia (SCH) have been determined. ► Ni-V and Ni-Zn nanoparticles are more appropriate candidates for SCH.
