Water radiolysis nanoprocesses in the near vicinity of gold nanoparticles relevant to cancer therapy
An improved tumour response to conventional radiotherapy has been observed when the mass has been doped with colloidal gold nanoparticles, with the hydroxyl radical implicated as the primary mediator. This thesis investigates the physical chemistry which drives this observed enhancement, focussing m...
