چکیده

Magnetite nanoparticles possess several properties that can make them useful for targeted delivery of radiation to tumors for the purpose of brachytherapy. Such particles are biodegradable and magnetic and can emit secondary radiation when irradiated by an external source. In this work, the dose distribution around a magnetite particle of 10 nm diameter being irradiated by monochromatic X-rays with energies in the range 4–60 keV is calculated.

Patterned magnetic rings fabricated by dewetting of polymer-coated magnetite nanoparticles solution.

Here we present a simple and controlled method for direct fabrication of ordered 2D arrays of magnetic rings. This method utilizes polystyrene-coated magnetite nanoparticles as a solution, and the magnetic rings are fabricated on patterned self-assembled monolayers by dewetting of the solution. Polystyrene-coated magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by atom-transfer radical polymerization, ...
