In radiobiological experiments, the cells can either float in suspension or adhere to the walls of the sample holder. When irradiation is performed in the presence of dose modifying agents such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), the different…
Precise radiation delivery is critical for effective radiotherapy, and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have emerged as promising tools to enhance local dose deposition while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. In this study, the PENELOPE…
When irradiation is performed with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), a different shape of cells in suspension or adherent to walls may result in different probability of cell survival. In a recent study, differences of up to a factor of 2 were…
Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have captured significant interest for their photoluminescent properties; however, their rapid photodynamics remain elusive while probed by ensemble-averaging spectroscopy techniques. To address this challenge, we…
We study transient charges formed in methane clusters following ionization by intense near-infrared laser pulses. Cluster ionization by 400 fs ($I=1 \times 10^{14}$ W/cm$^2$) pulses is highly efficient, resulting in the observation of a…
In this paper, we derive a variance-driven Local-Effect-Model ($\sigma$-LEM) to predict radiosensitization due to gold nanoparticles (AuNP). Assuming that the number of Au photo-ionisations scales strictly with particle volume…
The synthesis of Ag nanoclusters in sodalime silicate glasses and silica was studied by optical absorption (OA) and electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments under both low (gamma-ray) and high (MeV ion) deposited energy density irradiation…

Purpose: The introduction of Gold NanoParticles (GNPs) in radiotherapy requires consideration of GNP size, location, and quantity, and more, as well as beam quality. The work is presented in two parts, with Part I (this work) investigating…
The neutralization of low energy Na$^+$ and Li$^+$ ions scattered from Au nanoclusters formed by deposition onto oxide surfaces decreases as the cluster size increases. An explanation for this behavior is provided here, which is based on…
The assembly and stabilization of a finite number of nanocrystals in contact in water could maximize the optical absorption per unit of material. Some local plasmonic properties exploited in applications, such as photothermia and optical…
The thermodynamics and kinetics of crystallization of nanoparticles, as opposed to bulk phases, may be influenced by surface and size effects. We investigate the importance of such factors in the crystallization process of gold, silver, and…

The performance of gold nanoparticles (NPs) in applications depends critically on the structure of the NP-solvent interface, at which the electrostatic surface polarization is one of the key characteristics that affects hydration, ionic…
Electron emission spectra of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) after photon interaction were measured over the energy range between 50 eV and 9500 eV to provide reference data for Monte Carlo radiation-transport simulations. Experiments were…
This work reviews the concepts of an event used in micro- and nanodosimetry and analyzes how single event distributions could theoretically be derived from probability distributions related to interactions of the primary particle which…
