Radiation Damage in Lithium Orthosilicate

Electrochemistry of orthosilicate-based lithium battery cathodes: a perspective.

Lithium metal orthosilicates are attracting a lot of attention owing to their promising prospects as potential high capacity cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. Currently, great efforts are being made in order to achieve the full theoretical specific capacity of 330 mA h g(-1), but many issues remain unsolved (e.g., poor structural and cycling stability), which limit their practical applica...

Electrochemical Characterization of Low-Cost Lithium-Iron Orthosilicate Samples as Cathode Materials of Lithium-Ion Battery

Lithium-iron-orthosilicate is one of the most promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries due to its safety, environmental brightness and potentially low cost. In order to produce a low cost cathode material, Li2FeSiO4/C samples are synthesized via sol-gel (SG; one sample) and solid state (SS; two samples with different carbon content), starting from Fe (III) in the raw materials (lo...

Radiation track and DNA damage

Radiation Damage in Wls Fibres

Several types of WLS bres, candidates to be used in the TILECAL/ATLAS detector, were irradiated in a 60 Co source. Bicron, Kuraray and Pol.Hi.Tech bres were exposed to a total dose of 150 Krad. The degradation of light output was measured just after irradiation and followed during several days. The results are presented.

Radiation damage in scintillating crystals

Crystal Calorimetry in future high-energy physics experiments faces a new challenge to maintain its precision in a hostile radiation environment. This paper discusses the effects of radiation damage in scintillating crystals, and concludes that the predominant radiation damage effect in crystal scintillators is the radiation-induced absorption, or color center formation, not the loss of scintil...
