A local hospital was interested in shielding some sensitive equipment and contemplated installing a shielded room. The room under consideration was the typical laminated wood core panel with galvanized steel on both surfaces, with a RF shielded door, honeycomb air vent panels and filters for ac power, telephone and any other signals, meeting the shielding effectiveness requirements of MIL-STD-2...

Obejective(s): In this research, magnetite nanoparticles with an average size of 23-36 nm were successfully synthesized via surfactant-free electrochemical method using iron as the anode and water as the electrolyte in a closed aqueous system in the presence of NaOH at room temperature. Methods: The effect of the current density on product formation...

The perovskite-type oxides strontium-substituted lanthanum nickelate (LSNO) were prepared by a coprecipitation method in the present of octanoic acid as surfactant. The phase composition, morphology,lattice parameters and size of nanoparticles in these materials were characterized through Fourier transform infr...

a  facile  effective  stirring  aging  at  room  temperature  prior  to  conventional  hydrothermal treatment was employed in the template-free synthesis of micro- and nano-crystalline sodalites with  two  different  initial  gel  compositions.  the  effect  of  initial  si/al  molar  ratio,  naoh concentration and stirring aging time were investigated on the morphology and particle size of the...

medical linear accelerators are one of the most widespread methods for cancer treatment. despite their advantages, unwanted photoneutrons are produced by high energy linacs. this photoneutrons are as undesired doses to patients and a significant problem for radiation protection of the staffs and patients. photoneutrons radiological risk must be evaluated because of their high let and range.in o...

Superionic materials are multi-component solids in which one sub-lattice exhibits high ionic conductivity within a fixed crystalline structure. This is typically associated with a structural phase transition occurring significantly above room temperature. Here, through combined temperature-resolved x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry, we map out the nanoscale size-dependence...
