Application of phototransferred thermoluminescence (PTTL) for dose re-assessment in routine dosimetry using MTS-N (LiF:Mg,Ti) thermoluminescent detectors

Erasure of the thermoluminescence (TL) signal on detector readout is considered to be a disadvantage of TL dosimetry, as post-readout dose reassessment is then impossible in principle. A method of dose reassessment based on phototransferred thermoluminescence (PTTL) has been developed at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) and applied to MTS-N (LiF:Mg,Ti) detectors. We demonstrate the possibility of applying PTTL for dose reassessment in MTS-N TL detectors routinely applied in the dosimetric service at IFJ PAN. Readings of TL detectors exposed to relatively high doses by the customers of our dosimetry service can now be reassessed using our automatic readers. A major obstacle in applying the PTTL method at lower exposures is the presence of residual dose accumulated in LiF:Mg,Ti detectors after many field exposure and readout cycles. Since most of the TL detectors in our service have been already used for a long time (e.g. for over 10 years in the case of some detector batches), we find that our PTTL method of dose reassessment is possible only in detectors which had received doses exceeding 5 mSv.     

Theoretical modelling of encapsulation of the Altretamine drug into BN(9,9-5) and AlN(9,9-5) nano rings: a DFT study

The aim of this paper is a better comprehension of the encapsulation and interaction an anticancer drug Altretamine into BN nano ring [BNNR(9,9-5)] and AlN nano ring [AlNNR(9,9-5)]. The electronic and adsorption properties of the molecule Altretamine over the BNNR and AlNNR were theoretically studied in the solvent phase at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory for the first time. With the non-bonded interaction of Altretamine, the electronic properties of the BN and AlN nano-cages can be significantly changed. The electronic spectra of the Altretamine drug, complex BNNR/Altretamine and AlNNR/Altretamine in solvent water were calculated by Time Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) for the investigation of adsorption effect. According to the natural bond orbital (NBO) results, the molecule Altretamine, BNNR and AlNNR play as both electron donor and acceptor at the complexes BNNR/Altretamine and AlNNR/Altretamine. On the other hand, the charge transfer is occurred between the bonding, antibonding or nonbonding orbitals in the molecule drug, BNNR and AlNNR. As a consequence, BNNR(9,9-5) and AlNNR(9,9-5) can be considered as a drug delivery system for the transportation of Altretamine as anticancer drug within the biological systems.

Mechanistic study of the gas-phase chemistry during the spray deposition of Zn(O,S) films by mass spectrometry

The mass spectrometer, is a powerful tool to identify species and investigate reactions in the gas phase. In this work, the mechanism of aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) of Zn(O,S) films prepared from H₂S and zinc acetylacetonate (Zn(acac)₂) precursor solutions is elucidated by mass spectrometry. The thermochemical behavior of Zn(acac)₂ is investigated by characterizing the influence of the solvent (H₂O or ethanol), the pH value of the precursor solution and the effect of the reactant H₂S, and by tracking gaseous intermediate products using mass spectrometry. Based on these results, a proton-promoted thermolysis mechanism for the AACVD Zn(O,S) film formation is then proposed, which is initiated by the hydrolysis with H₂O as the first stage, followed either by the rearrangement with an intramolecular proton or by the reaction with an extramolecular proton to produce ZnO or Zn(O,S). A real time mass tracking of the AACVD process reveals that only an adequate amount of H₂S promotes the chemical gas-phase decomposition and sulfurization process, while an excess of H₂S depletes the gaseous Zn(acac)₂ concentration and consequently reduces the film growth rate. The knowledge of the thermal decomposition process helps to optimize synthesis conditions and to adjust film properties to meet the requirement of the application in chalcopyrite or kesterite thin film solar cells.     

The effect of Na on the electronic properties of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films: A local‐probe study

We investigated the effect of Na incorporation on the electronic properties of polycrystalline CuIn_0.7Ga_0.3Se₂ thin films using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. The tunneling spectra indicate a reduced in‐gap density of states at grain boundaries and reveal a downward band‐bending in Na‐rich grain boundaries with respect to the adjacent grains, in agreement with our conductive atomic force microscopy data. It thus appears that Na passivates deep‐level defects at grain boundaries and induces a downward band‐bending there. Moreover, we provide evidence that Na passivates mainly Cu vacancy related defects. We suggest that the grain‐boundary passivation, which reduces the recombination rate of photogenerated carriers, is at least of major importance in the well known Na‐induced improvement in the efficiency of the corresponding solar cells.

YPd3X(X=B,C)晶体结构、弹性性质与电子结构的第一性原理研究

在广义梯度近似(GGA)和GGA+ U(在位库仑势)下,采用第一性原理方法系统地研究了三元过渡金属硼碳化合物YPd3 X(X=B,C)的晶体结构、弹性性质、电子结构和成键特性.计算的晶格参数和体弹性模量均与报道的实验结果吻合,而YPd3 X(X=B,C)的弹性参数计算值则表明YPd3C的硬度大于YPd3B.根据晶体机械稳定标准得到YPd3B和YPd3C的失稳临界压强分别约为16.5 GPa和23 GPa.由Pugh经验关系可知YPd3X(X=B,C)均属于韧性材料,且YPd3B的韧性略高于YPd3C.电子能带结构分析表明YPd3B和YPd3C均具有金属特性,且导电能力相当.由态密度和电荷密度分析得知,X与Pd之间形成较强的共价键,而Y与Pd3X之间形成离子键,化学键键能的不同是两种材料的弹性参数存在差异的内在原因.上述的研究结果为YPd3X(X=B,C)的力电材料的设计和应用提供了一定的理论依据.     

Surface tension calculations of the cationic (CTAB) and the zwitterionic (SB3-12) surfactants using new force field models: a computational study

Actual CTAB and SB3-12 surfactant force field models fail to reproduce one of the most important thermodynamic property of those molecules, the surface tension. Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to construct new force fields of the cationic surfactant, Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB), and the non-ionic, cocoamidopropyl betaine, surfactants using united atom models. By scaling the Lennard Jones parameters, the well depth potential (ε) and the intermolecular distance (σ), we constructed an united atom model of the cationic and the betaine surfactants. The new models were tested with actual experiments reported in the literature. With the correct parameters, surface tensions of both surfactants were calculated at different temperatures and different areas per molecule. Electrostatic properties and micelle structures were also calculated with the new set of parameters and radius of gyrations, i.e. micelle radius, were evaluated showing good affinity with experimental data. The new force fields were proved with two different water models, TIP4P/ε and SPC/E, having good agreement with actual experiments     

Synthesis,structural study and thermal behaviour of a new compound: trirubidium bis(hydrogen sulphate) dihydrogen arsenate Rb3(HSO4)2.5(H2AsO4)0.5

Mixed crystals Rb₃(HSO₄)_2.5(H₂AsO₄)_0.5 have been prepared by slow evaporation from aqueous solution at room temperature. The crystals were characterized by X-ray single analysis, which revealed that Rb₃(HSO₄)_2.5(H₂AsO₄)_0.5 crystallizes in the space group P with lattice parameters: a = 7.471(3) Å; b = 7.636(1) Å; c = 12.193(2) Å; α = 71.91(1)°; β = 73.04(6)° and γ = 88.77(2)°. In this structure, the ordered S(1)O₄ and the disordered S(3)/AsO₄ tetrahedra are connected by O–H..O hydrogen bonds, to a zigzag chains running in the b-direction. These chains are, in turn, bonded to one another by disordered hydrogen bridges O–H..H–O, to give a planar structure, with hydrogen-bonded sheets, laying parallel to (1 0 0). Each disordered tetrahedron is linked to a tetrahedron neighbouring S(2)O₄ by ordered hydrogen bonds. Broader peaks in IR spectrum of the title material support the assumption of disordered structure. Thermal analysis of the superprotonic transition in Rb₃(HSO₄)_2.5(H₂AsO₄)_0.5 showed that the transformation to the high-temperature phase occurs by one-step process at 404 K. Thermal decomposition of this compound takes place at much higher temperatures, with an onset of approximately 473 K.     

Worldwide nanotechnology development: a comparative study of USPTO,EPO, and JPO patents (1976–2004)

To assess worldwide development of nanotechnology, this paper compares the numbers and contents of nanotechnology patents in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), European Patent Office (EPO), and Japan Patent Office (JPO). It uses the patent databases as indicators of nanotechnology trends via bibliographic analysis, content map analysis, and citation network analysis on nanotechnology patents per country, institution, and technology field. The numbers of nanotechnology patents published in USPTO and EPO have continued to increase quasi-exponentially since 1980, while those published in JPO stabilized after 1993. Institutions and individuals located in the same region as a repository’s patent office have a higher contribution to the nanotechnology patent publication in that repository (“home advantage” effect). The USPTO and EPO databases had similar high-productivity contributing countries and technology fields with large number of patents, but quite different high-impact countries and technology fields after the average number of received cites. Bibliographic analysis on USPTO and EPO patents shows that researchers in the United States and Japan published larger numbers of patents than other countries, and that their patents were more frequently cited by other patents. Nanotechnology patents covered physics research topics in all three repositories. In addition, USPTO showed the broadest representation in coverage in biomedical and electronics areas. The analysis of citations by technology field indicates that USPTO had a clear pattern of knowledge diffusion from highly cited fields to less cited fields, while EPO showed knowledge exchange mainly occurred among highly cited fields.     

Catalytic effect of water,water dimer,water trimer,HCOOH, H2SO4, CH3CH2COOH and HN(NO2)2 on the isomerisation of HN(NO2)2 to O2NNN(O)OH: a mechanism study

In this article, the isomerisation mechanisms of HN(NO₂)₂ to O₂NNN(O)OH without and with catalyst X (X = H₂O, (H₂O)₂, (H₂O)₃, HCOOH, H₂SO₄, CH₃CH₂COOH and HN(NO₂)₂) have been investigated theoretically at the CBS-QB3 level of theory. Our results show that the catalyst X (X = H₂O, (H₂O)₂, (H₂O)₃, HCOOH, H₂SO₄ and CH₃CH₂COOH) shows different positive catalytic effects on reducing the apparent activation energy of the isomerisation reaction processes. Such different catalytic effects are mainly related to the number of hydrogen bonds and the size of the ring structure in X (X = H₂O, (H₂O)₂ and (H₂O)₃)-assisted transition states, as well as different values of pK_a for H₂SO₄, HCOOH and CH₃CH₂COOH. Very interesting is also the fact that H₂SO₄-assisted reaction is the most favourable for the hydrogen transfer from HN(NO₂)₂ to O₂NNN(O)OH, due to the smallest pK_a (?3.0) value of H₂SO₄ than H₂O, HCOOH, H₂SO₄ and CH₃CH₂COOH, and also because of the largest ∠X???H???Y (the angle between the hydrogen bond donor and acceptor) involved in H₂SO₄-assisted transition state. Compared to the self-catalysis of the isomerisation mechanisms of HN(NO₂)₂ to O₂NNN(O)OH, the apparent activation energy of H₂SO₄-assisted channel also reduces by 9.6 kcal?mol^?1, indicating that H₂SO₄ can affect the isomerisation of HN(NO₂)₂ to O₂NNN(O)OH, most obvious among all the catalysts H₂O, (H₂O)₂, (H₂O)₃, HCOOH, H₂SO₄, CH₃CH₂COOH and HN(NO₂)₂.     

Quantitative assessment of iron deposition in the midbrain using 3D-enhanced T2 star weighted angiography (ESWAN): A preliminary cross-sectional study of 20 Parkinson’s disease patients

Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assesses neurodegenerative structural changes in the cerebral anatomy of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients but cannot detect non-structural abnormalities; however, enhanced T2 star weighted angiography (ESWAN) can precisely indicate PD-related substantia nigra (SN) iron deposition. The differences in ESWAN-based parameters between different PD stages were assessed using midbrain iron deposits of 20 PD patients aged 64.3 ± 12.7 (41–85) years grouped by Hoehn and Yahr staging into minimal (stages ≤ 2.5) or moderate to severe (stages ≥ 3.0) motor impairment groups and 14 healthy control subjects. Conventional MRI and ESWAN measurements of mean phase value (MPV) and midbrain dimensions (width and diameter) revealed similar anatomical characteristics; however, ESWAN revealed the presence of smaller MPVs and SN pars compacta (SNc) (P < 0.01) and a negative correlation between reduction extent and motor impairment (P < 0.01). SNc width to midbrain diameter was reduced in moderate to severe impairment patients versus control and minimal impairment patients (both P < 0.01). A positive correlation was found between MPV and width or SNc width to midbrain diameter ratio (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively). Minimal impairment group mean MPV and substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) width evidenced no significant reduction, unlike significant reductions in the moderate to severe impairment group (P < 0.01). No significant changes were observed in MPV or width in the RN region (P > 0.05). ESWAN allows for early and accurate iron deposition determination in PD patients, particularly useful as a supplement to conventional MRI in early-stage PD patients.     

Structural,elastic, electronic,andoptical properties of layered TiNX (X = F,Cl, Br,I) compounds: a density functional theory study

ABSTRACT

Titanium nitride halides, TiNX (X = F, Cl, Br, I) in the α-phase (orthorhombic) are exciting quasi two-dimensional (2D) electronic systems exhibiting a fascinating series of electronic ground states. Pristine TiNX are semiconductors with varying energy gaps and possess attractive properties for potential applications in optoelectronics, photovoltaics, and thermoelectrics. Alkali metal intercalated TiNCl becomes superconducting at reasonably high temperature. We have revisited the electronic band structure of TiNX using density functional theory (DFT) based calculations. The atomic orbital resolved partial electronic energy densities of states are calculated together with the total density of states (TDOS). The structural and elastic properties have been investigated in details for the first time. The elastic anisotropy has been explored. The optical properties of TiNX are studied for the first time. The Debye temperatures have been calculated and the related thermal and phonon parameters are discussed. The calculated physical parameters are compared with existing theoretical and experimental results and showed fair agreement. TiNX are found to reflect electromagnetic radiation strongly in the mid ultraviolet region. The elastic properties show high degree of anisotropy. The effect of halogen atoms on various structural, elastic, electronic, and thermal properties in TiNX are also discussed in detail.     

Calculated polar substituent effects on the stability of 3‐substituted(X) bicyclo[1.1.1]pent‐1‐yl cations and 4‐substituted(X) bicyclo[2.2.1]hept‐1‐yl cations: a DFT study

The effects of substituents on the stability of 3‐substituted(X) bicyclo[1.1.1]pent‐1‐yl cations (3) and 4‐substituted(X) bicyclo[2.2.1]hept‐1‐yl cations (4), for a set of substituents (X = H, NO₂, CN, NC, CF₃, CHO, COOH , F, Cl, HO, NH₂, CH₃, SiH₃, Si(CH₃)₃, Li, O^?, and NH₃⁺) covering a wide range of electronic substituent effects were calculated using the DFT theoretical model at the B3LYP/6‐311 + G(2d,p) and B3LYP/6‐31 + G (d) levels of theory, respectively. Linear regression analysis was employed to explore the relationship between the calculated relative hydride affinities (ΔE, kcal/mol) of the appropriate isodesmic reactions for 3/4 and polar field/group electronegativity substituent constants (σ_F and σ_χ, respectively). The analysis reveals that the ΔE values for both systems are best described by a combination of both substituent constants. The result highlights the importance of the σ_χ dependency of charge delocalization in these systems. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Transmission of polar substituent effects across the cubane ring system: 19F substituent chemical shifts (SCS) of 4‐substituted (X) cub‐1‐yl fluorides revisited

¹⁹F NMR shieldings of 4‐substituted (X) cub‐1‐yl fluorides ( 4 ) for a set of substituents (X?H, NO₂, CN, NC, CF₃, COOH, F, Cl, HO, NH₂, CH₃, Si(CH₃)₃, Li, O^? and NH) covering a wide range of electronic substituent effects were calculated using the DFT‐GIAO theoretical model. The level of theory, B3LYP/6‐311+G(2d,p), provided ¹⁹F substituent chemical shifts (SCS) in good agreement with experimental values where known. By means of NBO analysis, various molecular parameters were obtained from the optimized geometries. Linear regression analysis was employed to explore the relationship between the calculated ¹⁹F SCS and polar field, resonance and group electronegativity substituent constants (σ_F, σ_R and σ_x, respectively) and also the NBO derived molecular parameters (fluorine natural charges (Q_n), electron occupancies on fluorine of lone pairs (n_F) and occupation number of the C? F antibonding orbital (σ_CF*)). The key determining parameters appear to be n_F and σ_CF*(occup). Both factors are a function of the electrostatic field influence of the substituent (σ_F effect) but are counteractive in their influence on the shifts. No evidence for a significant resonance effect influence on the shifts could be identified. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Buffer effects of titanium in the case of silver / a - Al 2 O 3(0001)

The influence of thin titanium layers on the growth of silver clusters on - Al ₂ O ₃ (0001) is investigated. We demonstrate through in situ RHEED measurements that titanium can relax stress in a growth mode where two lattice parameters show up simultaneously. Above a certain thickness, the lattice parameter closest to the bulk value of titanium dominates. Depending on the amount of stress in the titanium layer, silver films can either develop 3D textures or grow in epitaxy and form 2D like films.
