Impact of gold-decorated tantalum oxide (TaOx-Au) nano-probes for low energy cancer diagnostic agent
Abstract
Novel synthesis of Gold-decorated Tantalum oxide nanoparticles (TaOx-Au NPs) as multifunctional nanoprobe. TaOx-Au NPs are characterized revels the formation of gold over TaOx NPs. TaOx-Au exhibits high X-ray attenuation when exposed to X-rays, making it suitable for cancer diagnostics.
