“…128 In addition to proton activation radiolabelling reactions, neutron activation has been also carried out for the radiolabelling of holmiumbased garnet magnetic NPs (HoIG) via the 165 Ho(n,g) 166 Ho nuclear reaction and more recently, boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) with 153 Sm and 159 Gd through 152 Sm(n,g) 153 Sm and 158 Gd(n,g) 159 Gd nuclear reactions respectively. 129,130 A high control over the radiolabelling location represents the main advantage of this method, as only specific atoms can Ac, 64 Cu, 59 Fe, 68 Ga, 111 In 109-111 and 115-119 Gold NPs 195 Au, 198 Au, 199 Au 105-108 Up-converting NPs 153 Sm, 90 undergo the nuclear reaction, with a consequently high RCS. However, this method has a key drawback in the requirement of a proton/neutron beam source, which involves the use of complex instruments that are not widely available.…”
