Introduction

Interest in the element terbium (Tb) for medical application has grown recently [1]. Four Tb isotopes have been identified with the potential to provide unique theranostic treatment strategies which combine cancer therapy with diagnostic imaging. The isotopes $^{155}$Tb and $^{152}$Tb can provide SPECT and PET imaging respectively [2], whilst $^{161}$Tb can be used for beta−...

8. [159Dy]THCPSi production at ISOLDE for radiation theranostics together with the IS528 collaboration

The study of porous nanoparticles as drug carriers is a growing field in cancer-therapy
research. The porous properties of the particle enable the anti-cancer drugs to be loaded
inside the particles and the surface of the particle can be modified with targeting moieties. The nanoparticles are then injected into the bloodstream and with the penetrative capabilities of the nanoparticle the...

43. VITO Laser Polarisation setup and bio Beta-NMR

The VITO (Versatile Ion-polarized Techniques Online) is a new beamline at ISOLDE that was initiated in 2014 due to the high demand for polarized beams in different areas of research, such as atomic physics, nuclear physics, solid state physics and biophysics [1].

In 2016, intensive designing and off line testing of the laser polarization β-asymmetry setup took place. The first on-line tests...

40. Lattice location of implanted transition metals in 3C-SiC

Angelo Rafael Granadeiro Costa (Instituto Superior Tecnico (PT))

Submitted

SiC is a wide band-gap semiconductor with several decades of material research and device development in high-power electronics with commercially successful applications. Transition metals (TM) impurities are invariably found in bulk samples of SiC due to the production processes normally employed. It is known that those impurities, either in their isolated form or when in complexes with other...

36. The Electric Field Gradient: A systematic Density Functional Study for Hg adatoms on Graphene

Abel Eduardo Da Silva Fenta (University of Aveiro (PT))

Submitted

Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystal which consists of a single graphite layer with strong covalent bonds between carbon arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Since it was isolated by André Geim and Konstantin Novoselov in 2004, graphene has become a remarkable subject of research, exhibiting novel phenomena that extend to virtually every domain of material’s science and applications...
