The magnetization dynamics of magnetic nanoparticles are essential for the medical applications of hyperthermia and magnetic particle imaging. In this paper, we clarified the AC magnetic susceptibility of superparamagnetic nanoparticles and their frequency dependence. We measured the AC magnetic susceptibility under an applied DC bias magnetic field. The frequency dependence of AC magnetic susceptibility was clearly observed. The experimentally obtained characteristics of the samples with different effective core diameters and dependence on the intensity of the DC bias magnetic field agreed with the theory assuming a simple particle model. The sample comprising effective core diameters with a wide distribution exhibited different characteristics than the samples comprising magnetically fractionated nanoparticles with a narrower core diameter distribution.
