One should expect two different curves from the different hypothetical mechanisms:
The nanomagnetism-scale hypothesis would predict a non-linear increase of power output with the increase in surface area as the size of the particles reaches the nanomagnetism-scale. The surface-area hypothesis would predict a linear increase of power output with the increase in surface area, even as the size of the particles reaches the nanomagnetism-scale. Have there been any experiments that would provide us with these curves?
