We report on the metastable defects introduced in n-type 4H-SiC material by epithermal and fast neutron irradiation. The irradiation are much less explored compared to electron or proton irradiation-induced defects. In addition carbon vacancy (Vc), silicon (Vsi) antisite-carbon (CAV) complex, has four deep-level defects, all arising from defect, M-center. were investigated deep level transient ...

A principally new diagnostic method has to be developed to complement the magnetic measurements in true steady state regime of operation of future fusion reactors. One of the options is the use of diagnostics based on Hall sensors that are well established in experimental physics and industry, although it is rarely implemented in the fusion plasma physics due to short pulse operation of majorit...

V-4 wt.% Cr-4 wt.% Ti alloy is a promising candidate material for first-wall and structural applications in magnetic fusion reactors. In the past, fast neutron sources were used to evaluate postirradiation properties of fusion candidate materials. The recent shutdowns of the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) and the Experimental Breeder Reactor (EBR-II) left U.S. researchers without local experime...

For the Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) and the Accelerator Driven Transmutation Facility (ADTF), tungsten is being proposed as a target material to produce neutrons. Previous work showed that the mechanical properties of tungsten are degraded from irradiation in a neutron flux but little work had been performed on the irradiation of tungsten in a high energy proton beam. In this study,...

Introduction: Bleomycins are DNA-binding biomolecules, which can be used as targeted therapy carriers when labeled with particle-emitters such as Yb-175. In this work the development of Yb-175 bleomycin (175Yb-BLM) has been reported. Methods: Yb-175 chloride was obtained by thermal neutron irradiation (3 × 1013 n.cm-2.s-1) of natural Yb2O<...
