Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations indicate that AuF might be synthesized at 22.6 GPa from AuF3 and Au (1 : 2), and subsequently quenched down to at least 5 GPa in the Cmcm (bent chain) structure.

Sodium bentonite can bind to dietary pigment and decreases yolk color scale. Sodium bentonite is one of the main parts of Formycine® Gold, the effect of different levels of Formycine® Gold and dietary pigment on egg quality, egg yolk color and performance criteria of laying hens from 26 to 34 week of age were studied. One hundred ninety two Hy-Line hens were divided into 24 groups of 8 birds ea...

Background and Aims: Gold nanoparticles have potential applications in the areas of medicine, target drug delivery, cancer diagnosis and therapy, electronic, etc. Recently, biological system is considered as an environmental friendly method for synthesis of stable nanoparticles. Methods: We demonstrated a biological system for formation of stable gold nanoparticle by using Cupriavidus necator w...

In this paper, we have described the size-controlled synthesis of gold nanoparticles based on the reduction of Au3+ (HAuCl4 ) using molybdophosphoric acid (H3[PMo12O40 ], HPMo) under UV-irradiation. In the process, HPMo plays the role of photocatalyst, reducing agent and stabilizer and propan-2-ol acts as a sacrificial agent. This method allows the synthesis of uniform hexagonal nanoparticles w...

In This research, gold nanoparticles were synthesized and functionalized by the antibody of aflatoxins. The quenching of the fluorescence of excitation emission matrices (EEM) of two type of aflatoxins (B1, G1), provoked by the gold nanoparticles, was studied by principal component analysis (PCA) and multivariate curve resolution with alternating least squares (MCR-ALS). These aflatoxins show q...

Objective(s):The current systematic study has reviewed the therapeutic potential of gold nanoparticles as nano radiosensitizers for cancer radiation therapy.   Materials and Methods: This study was done to review nano radiosensitizers. PubMed, Ovid Medline, Science Direct, SCOPUS, ISI web of knowledge, Springer databases were searched from 2000 to September 2013 to identify appropriate studies....

This present work reports an ecofriendly approach for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) using aqueous stem extract of Periploca aphylla as a reducing and stabilizing agent, has been discussed. This approach is simple, cost-effective and stable for a long time, reproducible at room temperature and in an eco-friendly manner to obtain a self-assembly of Au NPs. Two parameters were optim...

A protocol for cluster size distribution analysis was developed in order to parametrize local two-dimensional (2D) order in a quantitative manner, using mean cluster sizes and fractional hcp cluster formation (fhcp). Cluster size analysis was performed on 2D arrays of Au nanoparticles encapsulated in resorcinarene tetrathiol, which were organized into close-packed films at aqueous interfaces. T...
