Quellenformen für γ-Bestrahlungsanlagen mit Reaktorbrennelementen

Wesentliche Bedeutung für die Strahlenausnutzung in γ-Bestrahlungsanlagen mit Reaktorbrennelementen hat die Quellenform, wobei der besonderen Quelldichteverteilung Rechnung zu tragen ist. Es wurden Bewertungskenngröβen abgeleitet, mit deren Hilfe Optimalvarianten der Quellenform für verschiedene Bestrahlgutbedingungen bestimmt werden können. Für fünf Quellen-grundformen sind Formeln zur Berechnung der Strahlenfelder angegeben. Mit Hilfe der ermittelten Kenngröβen wurden die verschiedensten Quellenformen verglichen. Die hieraus abgeleiteten Optimalbedingungen sind abschlieβend zusammengefaβt.     

Flux and fluence dependence of disorder produced during implantation of 11B in silicon

The flux and fluence dependence of disorder produced in silicon during the implantation of ¹¹B has been investigated at room temperature, -50°C. and -120°C. Implantations were carried out with 200 keV ¹¹B ions using current densities in the range from 0.06μA/cm² to 15μA/cm², and the disorder monitored by measuring the energy spectra of backscattered protons which were incident on the sample at 450 keV parallel to a (110) axis. Significant differences in the dependence of the disorder on ¹¹B flux and fluence were observed between the implantations performed at room temperature and those carried out at the two lower temperatures.     

Computed positron lifetimes in vacancies and vacancy-iron clusters in gold

Annihilation characteristics are calculated for positrons trapped in clean and impurity decorated vacancy clusters in Au. The positron lifetime depends strongly on the structure of the clusters. In a strongly relaxed vacancy cluster, the lifetime can become smaller than the lifetime in a single vacancy. The substitution of some neighbour atoms of a vacancy cluster by Fe atoms has only a minor effect on the positron lifetimes.

Some effects of foaming of the poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) modified by electron radiation

Investigation of the effect of electron radiation and foaming agent on some properties of poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) was the aim of the present paper. The mass flow rate, weight‐average molecular weight of irradiated PBAT as well as the morphological structure of foamed samples, their density, tensile strength, and specific strength were determined. It was found that irradiation of PBAT induces growth in weight‐average molecular weight and decrease in mass flow rate, and as a consequence of this increase in viscosity of this polymer. It was also found that foaming of irradiated PBAT causes formation of homogeneous cellular structure or structure with a clear separation of large and small cells. Simultaneously, the irradiated and foamed PBAT shows smaller density than that of non‐irradiated and foamed PBAT. Moreover, electron radiation does not influence tensile strength of the foamed PBAT; however, it increases its specific strength, although only if the content of foaming agent is 1 wt%.     

Radiological safety assessment inside ancient Egyptian tombs in Saqqara

Many archaeological sites in Egypt are unique worldwide, such as ancient tombs and pyramids, because they document fundamental developments in human civilization that took place several thousands of years ago. For this reason, these sites are visited by numerous visitors every year. The present work is devoted to provide a pre-operational radiological baseline needed to quantify occupational radiation exposure at the famous Saqqara region in Cairo, Egypt. A hyperpure Ge detector has been used in the γ-ray spectrometric analysis while the ²²²Rn concentration was measured using a portable radon monitor RTM 1688-2, SARAD. The mean specific activities of ²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K in the samples collected from the interior walls of the Saqqara tombs were determined and found to show average values of 16, 8.5 and 45 Bq kg^?1, respectively. The concentration of radon was measured inside the tombs Serapeum, South tomb and the Zoser Pyramid (fifth level) and an associated average working level of 0.83 WL was obtained. In order to avoid the health hazards associated with the exposure to radon during the long period of work inside these tombs, proposed solutions are introduced.     

多孔活性自燃金属的光谱辐射特性研究

多孔活性金属材料因为内部存在大量的孔隙，大大地增加了与空气的接触面积，使得其在空气中的燃烧较为猛烈，燃烧温度迅速上升。其燃烧过程属于固体燃烧的范畴，较为复杂。以镁为例，通过建立燃烧模型，来研究多孔活性金属的光谱辐射特性。首先，建立氧气总消耗量与活性金属剩余质量的关系，研究氧气在活性金属孔隙内的扩散浓度关系，通过求解活性金属热平衡方程得到活性金属燃烧过程中温度与时间的关系式，进而得到活性金属的峰值光谱辐射强度表达式；然后，将模型计算的仿真结果与红外热像仪测得的实验结果对比，结果表明，模型的计算结果与实验结果相一致，误差在了10%以内；最后，通过建立的燃烧模型来研究活性金属燃烧规律以及其光谱辐射特性，解决了高空、高速下的活性金属光谱辐射强度难以实验获得的问题，大大减小了实验成本与时间。分别对比不同时间活性金属箔片在1～3，3～5以及8～12 μm波段下的辐射强度，得出活性金属燃烧时的辐射强度主要集中在3～5 μm波段的结论。研究结果表明：自燃金属最大燃烧温度随高度的增加逐渐下降，随气流速度的增加先增加后减小，在速度为30 m·s-1时，温度达到最大；自燃金属的光谱辐射强度在2～6 μm波段达到最大。该模型也可以用来研究其他活性金属的燃烧特性。     

Nitrogen dissociation and its excitation/vibrational temperature with hydrogen admixture in 50 Hz DC discharge

Trace rare gas optical emission spectroscopy (TRG-OES) is carried out to determine the excitation temperature, vibrational temperature, dissociation fraction and nitrogen (N) atom density in 50?Hz active screen cage nitrogen plasma, as a function of discharge parameters (current density and fill pressure) and hydrogen concentrations. The excitation temperature is determined from Ar–I emission lines and is found to increase with hydrogen mixing. In a similar fashion, the vibrational temperature of second positive system is determined and found to have increasing trend with hydrogen addition. The dissociation fraction increases with hydrogen concentration up to 40% H₂ in the nitrogen plasma, so as the nitrogen atom density.

Stencil lithography of gold-black IR absorption coatings

Gold black coatings are deposited through a stencil shadow mask to produce infrared-absorbing patterns with sub-mm lateral dimensions. Such dimensions match the characteristic pitch of Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) array bolometers. Infrared spectral imaging with sub-micron spatial resolution reveals the spatial distribution of absorption across the pattern.
