Neutron Moderator Development Research at the Low Energy Neutron Source
The Low Energy Neutron Source at Indiana University completed its construction phase roughly three years ago, and one of the more active research thrusts at the facility since that time has been our attempts to advance the state of the art in neutron moderation. This research program includes basic materials characterization, especially total neutron cross section measurements, as well as in-si...
متن کاملPorosity of Low-κ Materials Studied by Slow Positron Beam
Until the past few years, aluminium was used in semiconductor technology as interconnect metal and silicon dioxide (SiO2, κ = 3.9) as the interand intra-level insulator. With the demand of scaling the dimension of advanced integrated circuits well below the 100 nm DRAM 1/2 pitch technology node [1], the signal delay (resistance–capacitance RC delay) becomes one limitation in increasing the spee...
متن کاملLow Energy Fusion for a Safe and Compact Neutron Source
Neutrons are primarily produced at large international facilities using either spallation reactions or nuclear fission. There is a demand for small scale neutron production for use at hospitals and borders for a variety of applications. Isolated fission sources and sealed tube deuterium-tritium fusors are able to provide a reliable neutron flux at small scale but are impractical due to the asso...
متن کاملDesigning an Am-Be miniature neutron source
Background: Miniature neutron sources with high neutron flux have abundant applications in medicine, industry and researches. The most important general characteristic of miniature neutron sources is their diameter which is 3mm in average. In this research, we have surveyed and designed an Am-Be miniature neutron source fabrication. Materials and Methods: This investigation resulted in creation...
متن کاملA Femtosecond Neutron Source
The possibility to use the ultrashort ion bunches produced by circularly polarized laser pulses to drive a source of fusion neutrons with sub-optical cycle duration is discussed. A two-side irradiation of a deuterated thin foil target produces two countermoving ion bunches, whose collision produces an ultrashort neutron burst. Using particle-in-cell simulations and analytical modeling, it is ev...
