Photo-destruction of cancer cells by NIR irradiation and graphene nano-sheets

Abdolahad M., Mohajerzadeh S., Janmaleki M., Akhavan O., University of Tehran, IR

In this paper, we present a novel cancer therapy method based on graphene inclusion in the cell solution and irradiation of the solution by near infrared lasers. The effect of various parameters such as graphene [...]

Simulation of HgCdTe Double Layer Heterojunction Detector Devices

Hess G.T., Sanders T.J., Newsome G., Fischer T., Florida Institute of Technology, US

Mercury-Cadmium-Telluride (HgCdTe) diodes are used as detectors of long wavelength photons by interaction of the infrared radiation with the atomic lattice of the material, creating hole-electron pairs and subsequent photocurrents. Models for these physical phenomena [...]
