  1. 1. Black phosphorous sample preparation for ultrafast electron diffraction studies

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Rebecca Ahrling; [2020]
    Keywords : Graphene; Black phosphorus; electron diffraction; 2D material; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Since 2004 when mechanical exfoliation was first utilised to produce single layered samples of graphite, 2D materials have gained interest in the scientific community. With the prerequisite that the initial bulk material has a layered structure, these 2D materials have created an opportunity to examine materials on a very small scale as well as opening the possibility of creating smaller electrical components for industrial and commercial use, with well-known and documented parameters.

    Author : Cristina Pantaleone; [2012]
    Keywords : Photodynamic therapy; IPDT; light-matter interaction; optical circuit; prostate cancer; modulation frequency encoding; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Interstitial photodynamic therapy is a local solid cancer treatment technique that relies on the simultaneous presence of light, photosensitizer and oxygen. SpectraCure AB has been developing a light delivery system for prostate cancer therapy. READ MORE

  5. 4. The role of blood pooling and fibre positioning in Interstitial Photodynamic Therapy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik

    Author : Christopher Orth; [2008]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : For the dosimetry of interstitial photodynamic therapy (IPDT), the fibre positioning and the distributed light fluence that activates the treatment are essential. With sufficient supply of oxygen and photosensitiser, the treatment effect depends entirely on the distributed light. READ MORE
