background: it has recently been shown that the particle size of materials used for radiation shielding can affect the magnitude of radiation attenuation. over the past years, application of nano-structured materials in radiation shielding has attracted attention world-wide. the purpose of this study was to investigate the shielding properties of the lead-free shields containing micro and nano-...

zno and zno: mn nanocrystals synthesized via reverse micelle method. the structural properties nanocrystals were investigated by xrd and transmission electron microscopy (tem). the xrd results indicate that the synthesized nanocrystals had a pure wurtzite (hexagonal phase) structure. the various optical properties of these nanocrystals such as optical band gap energy, refractive index, dielectr...
