Atomistic modelling and structural characterisation of coated gold nanoparticles for biomedical applications
Matthew D. Dickers, Alexey V. Verkhovtsev, Nigel J. Mason +1
This study presents the results of atomistic structural characterisation of 3.7 nm diameter gold nanoparticles (NP) coated with polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based ligands of d…
Dissociative electron attachment to gold(i) based compounds: 4,5-dichloro 1,3-diethyl imidazolylidene trifluoromethyl gold(i)
Maria Pintea, Nigel Mason, Anna Peiro Franch +5
With the use of proton-NMR and powder XRD (XRPD) studies, the suitability of specific Au FEBID precursors has been investigated to low electron energy, structure, excited states an…
Molecular dynamics characterisation of radiosensitising coated gold nanoparticles in aqueous environment
Alexey V. Verkhovtsev, Adam Nichols, Nigel J. Mason +1
Functionalized metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been proposed as promising radiosensitizing agents for more efficient radiotherapy treatment using photons and ion beams. Radiosensiti…
Transport of secondary electrons through coatings of ion-irradiated metallic nanoparticles
Kaspar Haume, Pablo de Vera, Alexey Verkhovtsev +3
The transport of low-energy electrons through the coating of a radiosensitizing metallic nanoparticle under fast ion irradiation is analyzed theoretically and numerically. As a cas…
Modeling of nanoparticle coatings for medical applications
Kaspar Haume, Nigel J. Mason, Andrey Solov'yov
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been shown to possess properties beneficial for the treatment of cancerous tumors by acting as radiosensitizers for both photon and ion radiation. B…
