Calculation of thermal process during the absorption of microwave impulse energy by a spherical nanocluster in liquid medium

Abstract

A model to assess the thermal effect of the absorption of the energy pulse of coherent microwave-radiation by the conducting nanocluster surrounded by a liquid medium is presented. The free-electron maser is considered as the source of radiation. Examples of calculations on the basis of this model are presented. The possible effect that microwave therapy with the use of nanoclusters might have on treating cancer is assessed.
