E ects of stirring on the bulk etch rate of LR 115 detector

چکیده
The e ects of stirring on the bulk etch rate of LR 115 detector has been investigated. The surface pro6le measurement method using an instrument called Form Talysurf has been used to measure the thickness of the active layer of the LR 115 detectors. The etchant was 10% aqueous solution of NaOH maintained at 60◦C. The bulk etch rate under magnetic stirring has been found to be 6:65 ± 0:34 m h−1 and that under no stirring to be 3:61 ± 0:14 m h−1. The initial thickness of the active layer before etching also varies. c © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

E ects of stirring on the bulk etch rate of CR-39 detector
It is well established that the bulk etch rates for solid state nuclear track detectors are a ected by the concentration and the temperature of the etchant. Recently, we found that the bulk etch rate for the LR 115 detector to be a ected by stirring during etching. In the present work, the e ects of stirring on the bulk etch rate of the CR-39 detector is investigated. One set of sample was etch...
متن کاملFast and non-destructive determination of active-layer thickness of LR 115 SSNTD using a color commercial document scanner
Measurements using the LR 115 solid-state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) depend critically on the removed thickness of the active layer during etching, which cannot be controlled by the etching period alone. For example, the bulk etch rate depends significantly on the strength of stirring during etching. We propose here a fast, inexpensive and nondestructive method based on a color commercial d...
متن کاملBulk etch characteristics of colorless LR 115 SSNTD
The colorless LR 115 solid-state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) (from DOSIRAD) is based on cellulose nitrate and was first studied in view of its applicability in radiobiological experiments with alpha particles. In this paper, the bulk etch characteristics were studied. We first showed that the shape of the alpha-particle tracks are irregular with blurred contours under the optical microscope....
متن کاملA fast method to measure the thickness of removed layer from etching of SSNTD based on EDXRF
Solid state nuclear track detectors are commonly used for measurements of concentrations of radon gas and/or radon progeny. All these measurements depend critically on the thickness of the removed layer during etching. However, the thickness of removed layer calculated using the etching period does not necessarily provide a su7ciently accurate measure of the thickness. For example, the bulk etc...
