Interatomic or intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD) is a nonlocal electronic decay
mechanism occurring in weakly bound matter. In an ICD process, energy released by …

Enhancement of radiation effects by high-atomic number nanoparticles (NPs) has been
increasingly studied for its potential to improve radiotherapeutic efficacy. The underlying …

Many experimental and theoretical advances have recently allowed the study of direct and
indirect effects of low-energy electrons (LEEs) on DNA damage. In an effort to explain how …

Biomolecular radiation damage is largely mediated by radicals and low-energy electrons
formed by water ionization rather than by direct ionization of biomolecules. It was speculated …

In pioneering work by Cederbaum et al an excitation mechanism was proposed that occurs
only in loosely bound matter (Cederbaum et al 1997 Phys. Rev. Lett. 79 4778): it turned out …

Core‐level excitations are generated by absorption of high‐energy radiation such as X‐rays.
To describe these energetically high‐lying excited states theoretically, we have …

The extended second order algebraic-diagrammatic construction (ADC (2)-x) scheme for the
polarization operator in combination with core-valence separation (CVS) approximation is …

Metal centres in biomolecules are recognized as being particularly sensitive to radiation
damage by X-ray photons. This results in such molecules being both susceptible to an …

In 1997, it was predicted that an electronically excited atom or molecule placed in a loosely
bound chemical system (such as a hydrogen-bonded or van-der-Waals-bonded cluster) …

The impact of a highly charged ion onto a solid gives rise to charge exchange between the
ion and target atoms, so that a slow ion gets neutralized in the vicinity of the surface. Using …
