Effect of neutron irradiation on neat epoxy resin stability in shielding applications
Epoxy resin is a thermoset polymer and is one of the main candidates for radiation shielding application. In this investigation, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen analysis showed that the presence of the light element of nitrogen in cured epoxy could lead ...

Micromagnetic Characterization of Operation-Induced Damage in Charpy Specimens of RPV Steels
The embrittlement of two types of nuclear pressure vessel steel, 15Kh2NMFA and A508 Cl.2, was studied using two different methods of magnetic nondestructive testing: micromagnetic multiparameter microstructure and stress analysis (3MA-X8) and magnetic ...

Generating Unconventional Spin‐Orbit Torques With Patterned Phase Gradients in Tungsten Thin Films
ABSTRACT A key aim in spintronics is to achieve current‐induced magnetization switching via spin‐orbit torques without external magnetic fields. For this, the focus of recent work has been on introducing controlled lateral gradients across ferromagnet/heavy‐metal devices, giving variations in thickness, composition, or interface quality.

Neutron activation analysis of plantinum converter and furnace mattes using a D-T sealed tube neutron generator [PDF]
Neutron activation analysis (NAA) has been applied to furnace matte and converter matte samples with the objective of studying the natural variation in the elemental composition of the samples, with a view to characterize the samples for their source of ...

On the Modelling of Thermal Aging through Neutron Irradiation and Annealing
A new method predicting long-term thermal embrittlement of steel caused by P segregation is verified. The method is based on the results of impact strength or fracture toughness tests using specimens after relatively short-term neutron irradiation ...

Electrolyte Design for Fast‐Charging Lithium‐Based Batteries
A decade of progress in fast‐charging electrolytes for lithium batteries is reviewed. Electrolyte design strategies spanning solvents, salts, additives, and advanced systems, such as localized high‐concentration electrolytes (LHCEs), are summarized. Advanced diagnostic tools for lithium plating and interphase chemistry are discussed, with perspectives ...

Neutron Irradiation Techniques [PDF]
The He-3 “crisis” has become a fact in the last decade and large scale neutron detectors based on He-3 technologies have become unaffordable. This new He-3 reality has resulted in a major effort worldwide to develop replacement neutron-detector technologies.

Neutron and .GAMMA.-irradiation of bacteriophage M13 DNA: Use of standard neutron irradiation facility(SNIF). [PDF]
We describe here the use of the Van de Graaff accelerator as a source of high energy neutrons for biological irradiation. Single-stranded bacteriophage M13 DNA was chosen as the system to determine the relative biological effectiveness of monoenergetic neutrons.
