Investigation of alpha particle induced reactions on natural silver in the 40-50 MeV energy range [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Instruments and Methods B 436(2018)119-129, 2021
Natural silver targets have been irradiated by using a 50 MeV alpha-particle beam in order to measure the activation cross sections of radioisotopes in the 40-50 MeV energy range. Among the radio-products there are medically important isotopes such as $^{110m}$In and $^{111}$In.

Isotopes in hydrology and hydrogeology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The structure, status, and processes of the groundwater system, which can only be acquired through scientific research efforts, are critical aspects of water resource management. Isotope hydrology and hydrogeology is a genuinely interdisciplinary science.

Study of the detection efficiency of a surface contamination monitor according to the distance and the surface emission rate

open access: yesSaúde & Tecnologia, 2015
Introduction – A radioactive contamination needs to be quantified in case it eventually occurs. Therefore it is necessary to ensure that the operating conditions of a surface contamination monitor are characterized by determining its detection efficiency.

Anthropogenic radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr in the southern Baltic Sea ecosystem

open access: yesOceanologia, 2013
The radioisotopes of caesium (137Cs) and strontium (90Sr) make the greatestcontribution to the radioactivity level due to artificial radionuclides in the BalticSea, where the level of 137Cs contamination is higher than in any otherpart of the world ocean.

Precision measurements of the AC field dependence of the superconducting transition in strontium titanate [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism (2019), 2019
Strontium titanate has resurfaced as a material prompting vigorous debate about the origin of its superconductivity in the extremely low carrier concentration regime. Here, we used simultaneous AC susceptibility and transport methods to explore the superconducting phase transition region in this material.

A new production route of Gadolinium-148 for use in Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
The production of Gd-148 had challenges for available methods in the literature, such as its high cost and low production amount. Therefore, we recommended a new production route of Gd-148 on natural Sm and Eu targets via particle accelerators. For this aim, we calculated and simulated cross-section, activity, the yield of product, and integral yield ...

Development of Kabila rocket: A radioisotope heated thermionic plasma rocket engine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A new type of plasma rocket engine, the Kabila rocket, using a radioisotope heated thermionic heating chamber instead of a conventional combustion chamber or catalyst bed is introduced and it achieves specific impulses similar to the ones of conventional

Elastic effects of vacancies in strontium titanate: Short- and long-range strain fields, elastic dipole tensors, and chemical strain [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. B 80, 064108 (2009), 2008
We present a study of the local strain effects associated with vacancy defects in strontium titanate and report the first calculations of elastic dipole tensors and chemical strains for point defects in perovskites. The combination of local and long-range results will enable determination of x-ray scattering signatures that can be compared with ...
