质子辐照硼硅酸盐玻璃盖片的物理效应分析

作为航天器电源系统的重要组成部分,太阳电池需要更高的转换效率和可靠性以及更长的使用寿命。通过在太阳电池表面覆盖抗辐照玻璃盖片,可以增强太阳电池对粒子辐射的防护,延长太阳电池的服役寿命,使航天器获得可靠的能源供应。硼硅酸盐玻璃就是一种理想的太阳电池玻璃盖片材料。采用蒙特卡罗方法,结合SRIM软件模拟研究质子辐照硼硅酸盐玻璃的损伤物理机理。基于粒子与物质相互作用的理论以及基本公式,通过分析不同入射能量的质子在硼硅酸盐玻璃中的阻止本领、电离能损、位移能损、空位的产生情况,对辐照损伤的物理机制进行研究。结果表明:能量为30~120 keV的质子辐照损伤主要发生在硼硅酸盐玻璃表面;质子沉积、空位分布等均为Bragg峰型分布;电离能损是能量损失的主要部分,随入射能量的增加而增大,导致电子的电离和激发;位移能损在玻璃内部随能量降低而增大,导致硼、氧和硅等空位缺陷的产生;电离效应和缺陷的产生是硼硅酸盐玻璃色心形成的重要原因。     

光寻址电位传感器的正交相位检波检测方法

光寻址电位传感器的幅度检测方法易受噪声干扰,灵敏度差,信噪比和精度低,且受调制光源的影响较大,影响检测结果的准确性.为此提出了一种基于正交相位检波的光寻址电位传感器检测方法.该方法是将光寻址电位传感器的输出光电流信号分别与两路正交信号相乘,通过低通滤波提取直流分量并相除,即可得到光寻址电位传感器的输出信号相位信息.与已有的光寻址电位传感器相位检测方法相比,该方法具有算法复杂度低、实时性高的优点.实验研究了调制光源光强对光寻址电位传感器幅度检测和相位检测的影响,对比分析了光寻址电位传感器的传统幅度检测方法与正交相位检波检测方法对pH检测的灵敏度、线性度及信噪比.结果表明,相比于幅度检测方法,调制光源光强对光寻址电位传感器的相位检测影响更小,在频率为10 kHz,pH的范围为1.68~10.01的情况下,相位检测方法比幅度检测方法测得的灵敏度增加了7 mV/pH,精度提高了14.9 mpH,非线性误差减小了0.003%,均方差减少了0.1051×10^-5,信噪比增加了8.2827 dB.该方法特别适用于弱光下的光寻址电位传感器检测.     

Analysis of phantom centering positioning on image noise and radiation dose in axial scan type of brain CT

ABSTRACT

This study examined the dose and image quality according to the position change of a human phantom in a CT scan. This study used an MDCT 128 Slice CT Scanner instrument. An axial scan was performed with a 16 cm CTDI phantom of a human phantom, and the dose was measured using a pencil chamber meter. The phantom was scanned 10 cm above and below the isocenter and 15 cm above the right and left. The position of the phantom is indicated by C-0 in the isocenter position, S-10 in the upper 10 cm, I-10 in the lower 10 cm, R-15 in the right 15 cm, and L-15 in the left 15 cm. The test was performed 30 times using the brain CT protocol to calculate the dose and the dose width product (DWP). The acquired images were analyzed using the ImageJ program. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS with one-way ANOVA (p < .05). The mean DWP values of the CT scanner were C-0 31.97 mGy·cm, S-10 24.52 mGy·cm, I-10 24.28 mGy· cm, R-15 17.95 mGy·cm, and L15 17.6 mGy·cm. Compared to the isocenter (C-0), the DLP values measured at each site were 23.3% for S-10, 24% for I-10, 43.8% for R-15, and 44.9% for L15. A significant difference in the one-way ANOVA statistical process was observed (p>0.05). C-0 was measured to be 7.42 HU, S-10 7.87 HU, I-10 8.4 HU, R-15 117 HU, and L-15 13.6 HU for evaluating the image quality. Compared to C-0, S-10 was 5.39%, I-10 was 13.2%, R-15 was 57.6%, and L-15 was 83.2%. The PSNR for S-10, I-10, R-15, and L-15 was 17.37, 17.5, 16.62, and 16.37 dB, respectively. A good quality image can be obtained by positioning the subject precisely in the isocenter in the axial scan, if possible, because the irradiated dose to the subject is low, which can lead to an increase in noise in image reconstruction.

Second harmonic magnetoacoustic responses of magnetic nanoparticles in magnetoacoustic tomography with magnetic induction

Due to the unique magnetic, mechanical and thermal properties, magnetic nanoparticles(MNPs) have comprehensive applications as the contrast and therapeutic agents in biomedical imaging and magnetic hyperthermia. The linear and nonlinear magnetoacoustic responses determined by the magnetic properties of MNPs have attracted more and more attention in biomedical engineering. By considering the relaxation time of MNPs, we derive the formulae of second harmonic magnetoacoustic responses(2H-MARs) for a cylindrical MNP solution model based on the mechanical oscillations of MNPs in magnetoacoustic tomography with magnetic induction(MAT-MI). It is proved that only the second harmonic magnetoacoustic oscillations can be generated by MNPs under an alternating magnetic excitation. The acoustic pressure of the 2H-MAR is proportional to the square of the magnetic field intensity and exhibits a linear increase with the concentration of MNPs. Numerical simulations of the 2H-MAR are confirmed by the experimental measurements for various magnetic field intensities and solution concentrations using a laser vibrometer. The favorable results demonstrate the feasibility of the harmonic measurements without the fundamental interference of the electromagnetic excitation, and suggest a new harmonic imaging strategy of MAT-MI for MNPs with enhanced spatial resolution and improved signal-to-noise ratio in biomedical applications.     

Terahertz wave emission from water lines

To make further understanding of terahertz(THz)wave generation from liquid water,we study THz wave emission from water lines of different diameters.The water line with a smaller diameter generates a stronger THz electric field for the diameters from 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm.The THz electric field strength and polarity change with the relative position between the incident laser and water line.Moreover,the THz energy has an optimal radiation angle of about 60°.A two-dimensional dipole array model is introduced to illustrate the phenomenon.Our observations contribute to optimizing the scheme of the liquid THz source.     

The High Energy X-ray telescope (HE) onboard the Insight-HXMT astronomy satellite

The Insight-Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope(Insight-HXMT) is a broadband X-ray and γ-ray(1-3000 ke V) astronomy satellite. One of its three main telescopes is the High Energy X-ray telescope(HE). The main detector plane of HE comprises 18 Na I(Tl)/Cs I(Na) phoswich detectors, where Na I(Tl) is used as the primary detector to measure ~ 20-250 ke V photons incident from the field of view(FOV) defined by collimators, and Cs I(Na) is used as the active shielding detector to Na I(Tl) by pulse shape discrimination. Additionally, Cs I(Na) is used as an omnidirectional γ-ray monitor. The HE collimators have a diverse FOV,i.e. 1.1°×5.7°(15 units), 5.7°×5.7°(2 units), and blocked(1 unit). Therefore, the combined FOV of HE is approximately5.7°×5.7°. Each HE detector has a diameter of 190 mm resulting in a total geometrical area of approximately 5100 cm2, and the energy resolution is ~15% at 60 ke V. For each recorded X-ray event by HE, the timing accuracy is less than 10 μs and the deadtime is less than 10 μs. HE is used for observing spectra and temporal variability of X-ray sources in the 20-250 ke V band either by pointing observations for known sources or scanning observations to unveil new sources. Additionally, HE is used for monitoring the γ-ray burst in 0.2-3 Me V band. This paper not only presents the design and performance of HE instruments but also reports results of the on-ground calibration experiments.
