Light-Driven Energy and Charge Transfer Processes between Additives within Electrospun Nanofibres.

Electrospinning is a cost-effective and efficient method of producing polymeric nanofibre films. The resulting nanofibres can be produced in a variety of structures, including monoaxial, coaxial (core@shell), and Janus (side-by-side). The resulting fibres can also act as a matrix for various light-harvesting components such as dye molecules, nanoparticles, and quantum dots.

Magnetic optical rotary dispersion and magnetic circular dichroism in methylammonium lead halide perovskites.

Large magnetic optical rotary dispersion (Faraday rotation) has been demonstrated recently in methylammonium lead bromide. Here, we investigate the prospect of extending the active spectral range by altering the halogen. We also investigate the origins of large Faraday rotation in these diamagnetic materials using magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy and the Kramers-Kronig relations.

A study of the clinical, treatment planning and dosimetric feasibility of dose painting in external beam radiotherapy of prostate cancer.

Background And Purpose: Radiotherapy dose painting is a promising technique which enables dose escalation to areas of higher tumour cell density within the prostate which are associated with radioresistance, known as dominant intraprostatic lesions (DILs). The aim of this study was to determine factors affecting the feasibility of radiotherapy dose painting in patients with high and intermediate risk prostate cancer.

Materials & Methods: Twenty patients were recruited into the study for imaging using a 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner.
