1. Electromagnetic Heating of Coated Ellipsoidal Gold Nanoparticles in Biological Tissue at Radio Frequencies
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Radiofrequency heating of gold nanoparticles for use in remote hyperthermia cancer treatment has seenrapidly growing interest in the last decade. While most of the focus has been on studying sphericalnanoparticles, a recent report suggests ellipsoidal particles can significantly increase heat absorption. READ MORE

2. Simulation of Microwave Heating of Healthy and Cancerous Human Tissue With Gold Nanoparticles
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : With a great need for new and better cancer treatments, microwaves and gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are increasingly being suggested to be used in radiotherapy. In thisreport, the authors present an investigation of how human tissue,both malignant and healthy, behaves under microwave radiation. READ MORE

3. Geometry Dependent Optimal Bounds of Absorption and Scattering Cross-section for Small Nanoparticles
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)Abstract : Light-matter interaction in particles of subwavelength size mostly depends on the size, shape, composition of the particles and relies on the properties of incident light. Henceforth, resonant behavior of light can be effectively controlled by changing the aforesaid geometrical parameters. READ MORE

5. Modelling Local pH Values and Ion Distributions near Gold Nanoparticles
University essay from Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionenAbstract : Corrosion is the sum of processes by which an element, commonly a metal, wears away, deteriorates [1]–[3]. One of these processes uses the principle of electrochemistry as a basis, being the transfer of electrons between one chemical reaction and the element that undergoes corrosion [4], [5]. READ MORE
