A novel solid-state self powered neutron detector
Detection of nuclear materials is critical in preventing traffic of illicit nuclear materials. Several methods that are based on detection of spontaneous or induced emission of fission neutron are considered. Efficient fast and thermal neutron detectors are generally required. For some applications these detectors must have fast response and should be deployed with large or small detection area...
متن کاملDefect-induced magnetism in neutron irradiated 6H-SiC single crystals.
Defect-induced magnetism is firstly observed in neutron irradiated SiC single crystals. We demonstrated that the intentionally created defects dominated by divacancies (V(Si)V(C)) are responsible for the observed magnetism. First-principles calculations revealed that defect states favor the formation of local moments and the extended tails of defect wave functions make long-range spin couplings...
متن کاملThe physics of solid-state neutron detector materials and geometries.
Detection of neutrons, at high total efficiency, with greater resolution in kinetic energy, time and/or real-space position, is fundamental to the advance of subfields within nuclear medicine, high-energy physics, non-proliferation of special nuclear materials, astrophysics, structural biology and chemistry, magnetism and nuclear energy. Clever indirect-conversion geometries, interaction/transp...
متن کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
متن کاملDevelopment of Solid-State Detector for X-ray Computed Tomography
Solid-state detector has recently been used for x-ray Computed Tomography (CT) because it has high light conversion efficiency, quantum efficiency and compact size, compared with Xenon gas detector. In order to reduce radiation dose to the patient in medical x-ray CT, it should be needed to maximize the quantum efficiency and signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) of the detector. In this study, 16-channel...
