Investigation of dosimetric characteristic of NIPAM polymer gel using x-ray CT
Introduction: Polymer gel dosimeters contain chemical materials sensitive to the radiation which are polymerized by the radiation as a function of absorbed dose. So information of spatial dose distribution can be extracted by imaging from irradiated gel. Among imaging techniques, computed tomography (CT) poses as an attractive method because of practical advantages such as acce...
متن کاملModel-independent X-ray imaging of adsorbed cations at the crystal–water interface
We describe an approach to directly image three-dimensional elemental distributions at the crystal–liquid interface with 1 A spatial resolution. This method, based on the Fourier synthesis of X-ray standing wave data, is demonstrated by imaging the distribution of Sr2þ, Zn2þ and Y3þ adsorbed to the rutile (1 1 0)-water interface with no a priori assumptions. The approach resolves distinct sites...
متن کاملDirect observation of cations and polynucleotides explains polyion adsorption to like-charged surfaces.
We show an experimental approach for directly observing the condensation of polynucleotides and their electrolyte counterions at a liquid/solid interface. X-ray standing waves (XSW) generated by Bragg diffraction from a d = 20 nm Si/Mo multilayer substrate are used to measure the distinct distribution profiles of the polyanions and simple cations along the surface normal direction with subnanom...
متن کاملDepth elemental imaging of forensic samples by confocal micro-XRF method.
Micro-XRF is a significant tool for the analysis of small regions. A micro-X-ray beam can be created in the laboratory by various focusing X-ray optics. Previously, nondestructive 3D-XRF analysis had not been easy because of the high penetration of fluorescent X-rays emitted into the sample. A recently developed confocal micro-XRF technique combined with polycapillary X-ray lenses enables depth...
متن کاملSpecific Effects and Deconvolution in Submicrometre EPMA: Application to Binary Diffusion
Electron probe (X-ray) microanalysis (EPMA) is nowadays a classical and well-established method for qualitative and (semi)quantitative evaluation of the elemental composition of the (near)surface of a sample on the micrometre scale. This technique can be used to determine concentration profiles due to (inter)diffusion in materials at submicrometre resolution if physical and geometrical effects ...
