X-ray resonant exchange scattering of rare-earth nickel borocarbides

Description: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the systematics of the microscopic magnetic order within a series of isostructural compounds and, at the same, to develop the relatively young experimental method of x-ray resonant exchange scattering (XRES). In this thesis, the author presents XRES studies of several rare-earth nickel borocarbides, RNi{sub 2}B{sub 2}C. He shows that XRES, similar to the neutron techniques, allows the determination of the orientation of the magnetic moment by measuri… more

Medical Applications of Gadolinium and/or Boron-Labeled Pharmaceuticals

Description: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary treatment modality that can selectively irradiate tumor tissue. The key to effective BNCT is the preferential accumulation of <sup>10</sup>B in the tumor relative to the surrounding normal tissues. A screening procedure was developed under this CRADA that is an improvement over previously reported techniques. This method was used to evaluate the two compounds produced by BBI, the amino acid p-boronophenylalanine (BPA)and the sulfhydryl boroane N<… more
