The final stage of polishing for the samples was with pastes of grain size 0.5 μm, 2.5 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm and 14 μm. The ellipsometric parameters ψ and Δ were obtained and were used to calculate the optical constants n (refractive index) and k (extinction coefficient). It was found that as the roughness is increased, the refractive index n increases while the extinction coefficient k decreases. The used optical arrangement for ellipsometric measurements is presented and the procedure for extracting the results is explained. The uncertainty in the results is calculated and included in the results.","PeriodicalId":16981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientific Research in Science","volume":"119 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79409871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nanostructure powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and UV-visible spectroscopy. XRD confirmed the formation of crystalline α-Fe2O3 nanostructured and its average crystallite size increased from ~ 12 to 28 nm with increasing annealing temperature from 200˚C up to 800℃ while SEM confirmed the morphology and the purity of the sample was evaluated from the energy dispersive spectrum (EDS). Moreover, strain decreased with increasing annealing temperature. UV-visible characterization indicated the existence of both direct and indirect band gap in the samples. All the annealed samples showed the direct band gap at ~ 2.21 eV. However, the indirect band gap increased from 1.6 to 1.94 eV when the annealing temperature increased from 200 up to 700℃ and remained almost the same for sample annealed at 800℃.

The function of this system is not only to verify the correctness of the information regarding nuclear materials but it must be capable to characterize the unknown materials as well. The material's chemical and physical attributes concluded from the characterization process are needed to determine the intended use and origin of such materials. Thus, the characterization of nuclear materials is a key issue and equally important in nuclear safeguards (for inventory verification) and in nuclear security (for forensics attribution). Herein, an absolute spectrometric non-destructive analysis (NDA) method was used to characterize some plutonium-bearing materials. The gamma-ray spectra from fifteen samples were obtained using a high purity germanium detector. A portable HPGebased radionuclide (Falcon 5000) with the In-Situ Object Counting System (ISOCS) which is based on a pre-efficiency calibrated high-resolution gamma-spectrometer in combination with analysis software was applied. The isotopic composition of the assayed samples was estimated from the direct measurement of the activities of Pu isotopes as well as Am, Pa, and U isotopes. The obtained results have shown that the proposed spectrometric method can be successfully used to characterize Pu-bearing samples for nuclear forensic purposes.","PeriodicalId":16981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientific Research in Science","volume":"172 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74227842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then we survey the atomic population inversion in addition to the normalized correlation functions. We examine the influence of many parameters on the previous statistical aspects. We deduce from the conclusions that the behavior of the correlation function is affected by the existence of the time-dependent coupling parameters between spins. We prove that changing the values of the coupling parameters between spins λk, the parameters e, and the quantum numbers Nγ enables us to control the correlated behavior in addition to the atomic population. So, we can control this model through these parameters.","PeriodicalId":16981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientific Research in Science","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75251217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
