One approach for a particle radiobiological experiments is to use solid-state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs) as support substrates to record the a particle hit positions on the targets. To facilitate accurate characterization of the hit positions as well as the incident a particle energies, micro-collimators are required in these experiments to restrict the incidentaparticles to thosewith sma...

Nanochemistry fabrication methods have improved remarkably over the last few years. Among the different strategies developed to elaborate nanomaterials, the templating method is one of the most attractive as it has proven to be reliable for the synthesis of arrays of nanowires and nanotubules of desired composition, sizes and aspect ratios. Chemical and electrochemical techniques are used for s...

Electrochemical characterization of a symmetric track-etched polyethylenthereftalate (PET) membrane in contact with KCl solutions at different concentrations was carried out by measuring impedance spectroscopy (IS) and membrane potential (MP), which allow the estimation of membrane electrical resistance and ion transport numbers, respectively. IS measurements permit us the characterization of m...

Cobalt nanowires with controlled diameters have been synthesized using electrochemical deposition in etched ion-track polycarbonate membranes. Structural characterization of these nanowires with diameter 70, 90, 120 nm and length 30 μm was performed by scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The as-prepared wires show uni...
