Light scattering from an assembly of tracks in a PADC film
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computer programwas developed to calculate the light scattered from an assembly of alpha particle tracks in a PADC film. The tracks were randomly seeded on the film to simulate the irradiation by alpha particles emitted by the naturally occurring radon gas and its short-lived progeny. The ray-tracing method was applied to simulate light propagation through the tracks. The angular distribution of scattered light showed a strong maximum between 101 and 201. The distribution of the scattered light was found to be independent of the equilibrium factor between radon and its progeny. The total amount of scattering increased linearly with the track density and quadratically with the removed layer during chemical etching of the irradiated PADC film. & 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Micro-collimator fabricated by alpha-particle irradiation of polyallyldiglycol carbonate polymer film and subsequent chemical etching
In the present paper, we propose a method to fabricate a ‘‘micro-collimator’’ with a thickness of 15mm. A commercially available PADC film with a thickness of 100mm was first chemically etched with NaOH/ethanol solution to obtain a thin PADC film. This thin PADC film was then irradiated by 5MeV a particles through a ‘‘macro-collimator’’ with a thickness of 5mm and a hole diameter of 1mm. This P...
متن کاملDosimetric study of radioadaptive response of zebrafish embryos using PADC-film substrates
We found the alpha-particle priming dose which could effectively induce in vivo radioadaptive response in the embryos of the zebrafish, Danio rerio, to be 4.8e48 mGy, through the apoptotic signals scored in the embryos at 24 h post fertilization. Specially fabricated thin polyallyldiglycol carbonate (PADC) films were used as support substrates for the dechorionated embryos. During irradiation, ...
متن کاملAnalyses of light scattered from etched alpha-particle tracks in PADC
A computational model for light propagation through an etched alpha-particle track was described. Four different cases for light ray propagation through the etched track were studied in detail. The track profile, optical appearance and distribution of scattered light were given for three typical types of etched tracks. These laid the foundation for future automatic determination of properties o...

Conventionally, a film of TiO2 particles of ~300 nm size is employed in DSCs as the back reflector film to enhance the light harvesting. In this study, two electrolytes with different transparencies, iodide-based and cobalt-based electrolytes, were used to investigate the transparency effect of electrolytes on light back-scattering from back scattering layer and also to study its effect on the ...
متن کاملStudying effects of Magnolol on alpha-particle induced bystander effects using PADC-film based dishes
Radiation-induced bystander effect refers to the biological response found in cells (called bystander cells) which are not irradiated directly by ionizing radiation but are next to cells irradiated directly by ionizing radiation. In the present paper, the effects of Magnolol, an extract from the bark of Magnolia officinalis which is used as a traditional Chinese medicine, were studied on alpha-...
