Microwave–Assisted Hydrothermal Synthesis and Optical Characterization of SnO2 Nanoparticles
Semiconductor nanoparticles exhibit size dependent properties due to quantum confinement effect that are not present in their bulk counterparts. In this work, extremely fine and pure SnO2 nanoparticles of ~1.1 nm size were synthesized by a solution process, in which amorphous precipitate of SnO2 was crystallized by microwave heating. The particles sizes varied from ~1.1 to ~2.7 nm. By XRD analy...
متن کاملComparative Measurements of Radon Concentration in Soil Using Passive and Active Methods in High Level Natural Radiation Area (HLNRA) of Ramsar
Background: Radon and its daughters are amongst the most important sources of natural exposure in the world. Soil is one of the significant sources of radon/thoron due to both radium and thorium so that the emanated thoron from it may cause increased uncertainties in radon measurements. Recently, a diffusion chamber has been designed and optimized for passive discriminative measurements of rado...

Knee is a common site of osteoarthritis possibly because it is often subject to trauma. Primary knee osteoarthritis has no known etiology while secondary osteoarthritis can be traced to abnormal joint mechanics. Actually, osteoarthritis may be a physiologic response to repetitive, longitudinal impulse loading of the joint. Knee proprioception derives from the integration of afferent s...
متن کاملRadioactivity measurements in spas of central and Eastern Black Sea region, Turkey
Background: The aim of this study is to measure the level of radon gas in the thermal springs of the four seasons in the Black Sea Region and to determine the gamma activity levels in the soils around them. Materials and Methods: Indoor radon activity concentrations of four spa facilities, namely Ladik, Havza, Ilıcaköy, and Ayder, were measured using CR-39 passive radon dosimeters and active ra...
متن کاملMicrowave-Hydrothermal Synthesis and Characterization of High-Purity Nb Doped BaTiO3 Nanocrystals
The synthesis of Nb doped BaTiO3 has been investigated under Microwave-Hydrothermal (MH) conditions in the temperature of 150°C for only 2 h using C16H36O4Ti, BaH2O2.8H2O and NbCl5 as Ba, Ti and Nb sources, respectively. Typical experiments performed on MH processing have not yet reported for Nb doped BaTi...
