L X-Rays RYIED Oscillations and Proton-NMRD of Gd2O3 Nanoparticles

Figure 2

Overlap of spectra collected during irradiation of Gd2O3 nanoparticles, Gd-DOTA pellets (a), and Gd2O3 powder pellets (b), using 750 keV proton beams. The Gd2O3 nanoparticles spectrum was normalised in order that the peak counts in the 𝐿 𝛼 peak are the same as that of the overlapping spectra. It can be seen that while the tail region of the 𝐿 𝛼 peak is identical for the Gd2O3 nanoparticles and for the Gd-DOTA pellet, the same is not true for the Gd2O3 nanoparticles and the Gd2O3 bulk pellet.
