Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) represent a relatively simple nanosystem to be synthesised and
functionalized. AuNPs offer numerous advantages over different nanomaterials, primarily …

Interest in minimally invasive and localized treatments for cancer has led toward a dramatic
increase in the development of novel nanomaterials as light absorbing agents. The …

The fitting of metal optical properties is a topic that has applications in advanced simulations
of spectroscopy, plasmonics, and optical engineering. In particular, the finite difference time …

The purpose of this study is to get more efficient gold nanoparticles, for necrosis of cancer
cells, in photothermal therapy. Therefore a numerical maximization of the absorption …

Forward and adjoint Monte Carlo (MC) models of radiance are proposed for use in model-
based quantitative photoacoustic tomography. A two-dimensional (2-D) radiance MC model …

Although nanotherapeutics offer a targeted and potentially less toxic alternative to systemic
chemotherapy in cancer treatment, nanotherapeutic transport is typically hindered by …

Generalized Lorenz‐Mie theories form a set of analytical approaches dealing with the
interaction between electromagnetic arbitrary shaped beams and a class of particles …

We theoretically study the properties of the optimal size distribution in the ensemble of
hollow gold nanoshells (HGNs) that exhibits the best performance at in vivo biomedical …

Nanoparticle uptake and distribution to solid tumors are limited by reticuloendothelial system
systemic filtering and transport limitations induced by irregular intra-tumoral vascularization …

Despite much research efforts being devoted to the design optimization of metallic
nanoshells, no account is taken of the fact that the number of the nanoshells that can be …
