anticancerous properties. The biocompatible ferro-fluids based on oxide
nanoparticles are of particular interest in clinical applications such as drug
targeting [

]. At the same time, mechanism for their cytotoxic effect is still
to be understood. Recently reported study of Er

nanoparticles
[

] indicates the future scope for EMR of rare earth impurity doped oxide
nanoparticles.
