Low-dose photon irradiation response of Ge and Al-doped SiO2 optical fibres.
We have investigated the thermoluminescent response and fading characteristics of germanium- and aluminium-doped SiO(2) optical fibres. These optical fibres were placed in a solid phantom and irradiated using 6 and 10 MV photon beams at doses ranging from 0.02 to 0.24 Gy delivered using a linear accelerator. In fading studies, the TL measurements were continued up to 14 days post-irradation. We...
متن کاملAn investigation of the thermoluminescence of Ge-doped SiO2 optical fibres for application in interface radiation dosimetry.
We investigate the ability of high spatial resolution (∼120 μm) Ge-doped SiO2 TL dosimeters to measure photoelectron dose enhancement resulting from the use of a moderate to high-Z target (an iodinated contrast media) irradiated by 90 kVp X-rays. We imagine its application in a novel radiation synovectomy technique, modelled by a phantom containing a reservoir of I2 molecules at the interface o...
متن کاملLarge melting-point hysteresis of Ge nanocrystals embedded in SiO2.
The melting behavior of Ge nanocrystals embedded within SiO2 is evaluated using in situ transmission electron microscopy. The observed melting-point hysteresis is large (+/-17%) and nearly symmetric about the bulk melting point. This hysteresis is modeled successfully using classical nucleation theory without the need to invoke epitaxy.
متن کاملPlasmonic Ge-doped ZnO nanocrystals.
We present the first colloidal synthesis of Ge-doped ZnO nanocrystals, which are produced by a scalable method that uses only air and moisture stable precursors. The incorporation of tetravalent Ge ions within ZnO nanocrystals generates a surface plasmon resonance in the near-mid infrared, and induces a change in morphology, from isotropic spheroidal nanocrystals to rod-like, elongated structur...
متن کاملGiant Seebeck effect in Ge-doped SnSe
Thermoelectric materials may contribute in the near future as new alternative sources of sustainable energy. Unprecedented thermoelectric properties in p-type SnSe single crystals have been recently reported, accompanied by extremely low thermal conductivity in polycrystalline samples. In order to enhance thermoelectric efficiency through proper tuning of this material we report a full structur...
