Nucleus dose enhancement factor (nDEF) as a function of local nanoparticle concentration due to photoelectrons (A), Auger electrons (B) for 1.9 nm diameter nanoparticles irradiated by a 50 kVp external beam X-ray source where the nucleus occupies 10% of the cellular volume; nDEF as a function of distance between the nanoparticle and nucleus, due photoelectrons (C), Auger electrons (D) for 1.9 nm diameter nanoparticles (at 7 mg/g) when irradiated by a 50 kVp external beam X-ray source where the nucleus occupies 10% of the cellular volume. Zero distance refers to the position when the nanoparticle is just inside the nucleus.
