Review on Steel Enhancement for Nuclear RPVs

open access: yesMetals, 2021
The reactor pressure vessel (RPV) is one of the most important elements of a nuclear power plant (NPP). The RPV determines the plant operational lifetime since it is not replaceable economically.

Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy study of roller burnished magnesium alloy

open access: yesNukleonika, 2015
The effect of roller burnishing on Vickers’ hardness and positron lifetimes in the AZ91HP magnesium alloy was studied. The microhardness increases with an increase in the burnishing force and with a decrease in the feed. The comparison of various methods

Monte Carlo simulation of positronium thermalization in gases [PDF]

open access: yesHemijska Industrija, 2010
In this paper we present the results of Monte Carlo simulations of positronium (Ps) swarm thermalization in helium (He) and water vapour. We have investigated the temporal evolution of energy and spatial parameters of the swarm and their sensitivity to ...

Surfaces of colloidal PbSe nanocrystals probed by thin-film positron annihilation spectroscopy

open access: yesAPL Materials, 2013
Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy and positron-electron momentum density (PEMD) studies on multilayers of PbSe nanocrystals (NCs), supported by transmission electron microscopy, show that positrons are strongly trapped at NC surfaces, where ...

Principles of positron porosimetry

open access: yesNukleonika, 2015
The paper deals with positron porosimetry (PP), which is based on positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). The numerical analysis of positron lifetime spectra for PP is more demanding than in most of other applications of PALS.

Inverse change in positron lifetimes of vacancies in tungsten by binding of interstitial impurity atoms to a vacancy: A first-principles study

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2023
First-principles calculations related to defect complexes formed from a monovacancy and multiple interstitial impurity atoms (hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms) in tungsten were performed.

Positron lifetime study of ion-irradiated tungsten: Ion type and dose effects

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy
Polycrystalline recrystallized tungsten samples were irradiated with 7.5 MeV Si ions and 9 MeV Cu ions to three different damage levels (0.01, 0.1, 0.5 dpa at 200 nm depth) at 295 K.

Characterization of vacancy defects in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 by positron annihilation spectroscopy

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2016
The photovoltaic performance of Cu(In1-x,Gax)Se2 (CIGS) materials is commonly assumed to be degraded by the presence of vacancy-related defects. However, experimental identification of specific vacancy defects remains challenging.

Microstructure and luminescent properties of Eu3+-activated MgGa2O4:Mn2+ ceramic phosphors

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Ceramics, 2020
Mn2+ and the trivalent europium (Eu3+)-doped MgGa2O4 ceramics are characterized using a multi-experimental approach. The formation of spinel-structured ceramics is ascertained from X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis.
