Green Method for Synthesizing Gallium Nitride Nanostructures at Low Temperature

Gallium nitride (GaN) nanostructures (NS) were synthesized using pulseddirect current plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PDC-PECVD) on quartzsubstrate at low temperature (600°C). Gallium metal (Ga) and nitrogen (N) plasma wereused as precursors. The morphology and structure of the grown GaN NS werecharacterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), transmissionelectro...

Cytogenetic Damage at Low Doses and the Problem of Bioindication of Chronic Low Level Radiation Exposure

INTRODUCTION The problem of correct estimation of low-level exposure chronic irradiation biological consequences is one of the most important unsolved problem. It is actual for radiobiology and radioecology at the moment. The development of new concept of radiation protection of human and biota should be based on clear understanding of low-level chronic exposure biological consequences. The est...

Origin and temperature dependence of radiation damage in biological samples at cryogenic temperatures.

Radiation damage is the major impediment for obtaining structural information from biological samples by using ionizing radiation such as x-rays or electrons. The knowledge of underlying processes especially at cryogenic temperatures is still fragmentary, and a consistent mechanism has not been found yet. By using a combination of single-crystal x-ray diffraction, small-angle scattering, and qu...

Does Hze Radiation-induced Dna Damage Differ from Low-energy High Let Radiation Damage?

METHODS We have used 1 GeV/u and 600 MeV/u iron ions at NSRL, 300 kVp X-rays and 25 MeV/u nitrogen ions from the 88” cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. For measurements of DNA double-strand breaks we are using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) with a dual label technique that includes control samples in each lane and the use of the most sensitive part of the FAR vs dose c...
