Study on anticancer properties of BaO:Fe2O3:NiO nanocomposites

For the first time, by using pudeena leaves extract as a reducing agent the BaO-Fe2O3-NiO nanocomposite was synthesized via green solution combustion method and is calcinated at 500o and is characterized by using different tech-niques. The Bragg reflections corresponding to tetragonal BaO, cubic NiO and Fe2O3 clearly in-dicates the formation of the sample with 44 nm crystallite size. The surface morphology is highly agglomerated in nature along with hallows ad pores. EDAX spectra again confirms the presence of Ba, Ni, Fe and O atoms. The direct energy band gap was found to be 2.71 eV. The gamma ray interaction with NCs gives the particular ab-sorption edge at particular energy. The mass attenuation coefficient is calculated which is the essential parameter required in the field of radiation dosimetry and radiation physics. Anticancer properties were studied against cisplatin and MCF7 cells.
