Track recording properties of soda glass detector for accelerated heavy ions

The etch pit diameters of soda glass detector samples exposed to ₅₄ ¹³² Xe-ions of different energies are measured for different etching times after etching the detector in a ‘new etchant’ free of the adverse effect of the etch product layer. The dependence of track diameter on the energy and on the energy loss, dE/dx of ₅₄ ¹³² Xe-ion in soda glass has been presented. The energy resolution of soda glass and the critical angle for etching of fission fragment tracks in glass detectors have also been determined. The maximum etched track length of ₅₄ ¹³² Xe-ion in soda glass has been compared with the theoretical range. The effects of different annealing conditions on bulk etch rate of glass detector and on diameters of ₅₄ ¹³² Xe-ion tracks have been presented. Experimental results show that there is a decrease in track etch rate, etching efficiency and etchable range of ₅₄ ¹³² Xe-ions with annealing. The annealing of oblique tracks shows that the vertical tracks are more stable than the oblique tracks.

On the Maximum Spectral Radius of （m, n）-trees with Given Diameter

Let (V, U) be the vertex-partition of tree T as a bipartite graph. T is called an (m,n)-tree if |V|=m and |U| = n. For given positive integers m,n and d, the maximum spectral radius of all (m,n)-trees on diameter d are obtained, and all extreme graphs are determined.     

Deriving the mean primary-particle diameter and related quantities from the size distribution and the gravimetric mass of spark generated nanoparticles

Spark generated carbon and iridium nanoparticles were characterised by their electrical-mobility diameter D and by the mass of particulate matter collected in parallel on filter. The particles exhibited slightly skewed lognormal size distributions with mean mobility diameters between 18 and 74 nm. The masses calculated from the measured distributions under the assumption that the particles were spherical (diameter D) and of bulk mass density turned out to be much higher than the gravimetric mass, by factors between 8 and as high as 340. This very pronounced difference initiated a search for an improved relation between particle size and mass. Data analysis suggested that the mass increases linearly with increasing D. Hence the measured distributions were evaluated under the assumption that the spark generated matter was composed of spherical primary nanoparticles of mean diameter d, aggregated in the form of chains of joint length βD, with β>1. Using reasonable values of β between 2 and 4, the mean diameter of carbon primary particles turned out to be 10±1.8 nm, in excellent agreement with size data recently obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The primary iridium particles were found to be distinctly smaller, with diameters between 3.5±0.6 nm and 5.4±0.9 nm. The comparatively small uncertainty is due to the fact that the primary-particle diameter is proportional to the square root of β. The calculated volume specific surface areas range between 500 and 1700 m²/cm³. These numbers are close to the ‘active’ surface areas previously measured by the BET method. The good agreement with TEM and BET data suggests that the novel approach of nanoparticle characterisation is meaningful. Accordingly, the number concentrations of all individual primary particles rather than the concentrations measured by the mobility analyser should be␣considered the correct dose metric in studies on animal exposure to spark generated nanoparticles. The␣evaluated data imply that the numbers quoted in the literature must be enlarged by factors ranging between about 10 and a maximum as high as 80. An erratum to this article can be found at

Depth sensitivity of lexan polycarbonate detector

The dependence of the registration sensitivity of Lexan polycarbonate with depth inside the detector was studied. Samples of Lexan from General Electric were irradiated to two long range ions. These were Ni and Au ions with a projectile energy of 0.3 and 1 GeV/n. Two independent techniques, the track-diameter technique (TDT) and the track profile technique (TPT), were used. The registration sensitivity was measured at depths of 7, 10, 15, 18, 20, 28, 35 and 40 μm inside the detector. The results of the two techniques show that the detector sensitivity decreases gradually with the depth inside the detector. It reaches 20% less compared to sensitivity at the surface after 40 μm have been removed.
