Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been adopted as a minimally invasive approach for the localized treatment of superficial tumors, representing an improvement in the care of cancer patients. To improve the efficacy of PDT, it is important to first select an optimized nanocarrier and determine the influence of light parameters on the photosensitizing agent. In particular, much more knowledge concer...

Differential magnetic catch and release (DMCR) has been used as a method for the purification and separation of magnetic nanoparticles. DMCR separates nanoparticles in the mobile phase by magnetic trapping of magnetic nanoparticles against the wall of an open tubular capillary wrapped between two narrowly spaced electromagnetic poles. Using Au and CoFe(2)O(4) nanoparticles as model systems, the...

Incorporation of sulfur into 2.4 T CoFe alloys during galvanostatic deposition has been studied. The results indicate that the main source of sulfur in magnetic deposit is saccharin used as an additive in the plating solution. The atomic percent of sulfur in deposit and the sulfur incorporation rate show strong dependence on saccharin concentration in the plating solution. This dependence has p...

Microstructural effects on the magnetic behavior of rf-sputtered CoFe–AgCu granular alloys are examined through the study of the in-plane remanence-to-saturation magnetization ratio, M r /M s , as a function of temperature, ferromagnetic volume content, xv , and annealing temperature. At low ferromagnetic contents (xv<0.25), the M rM s ratio in as-deposited samples tends towards 0.5 at low temp...

001 -oriented Ni80Fe20/Mn100−xPtx and Co90Fe10/Mn100−xPtx epitaxial bilayers were prepared using the molecular beam epitaxy method. Their exchange anisotropies were measured using a torque magnetometer, while their interfacial Mn uncompensated moments were measured by means of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. The bilayers exhibited both oneand fourfold components in their anisotropy torque cu...
