With this sense, PbO/colemanite-filled rigid polyurethane foams were fabricated by one-shut free rise method, and their performances were investigated via the advanced characterization techniques such as ATR-FTIR, SEM-EDS, TGA as well as thermal conductivity, universal mechanical and radiation shielding tests. The characteristic properties of the samples were evaluated in detail depending on the variation in the filler contents. The ATR-FTIR analysis illustrated that RPUF matrices exhibited good compatibility with the fillers by forming the secondary chemical bonds. Furthermore, SEM analysis revealed that the samples with low PbO/colemanite fillers exhibited fairly uniform and regular cellular morphology with anisotropic elliptical apparition thanks to synergetic catalytic effect of the filler particles, whereas, at high content, some local distortions with slightly chaotic appearance were observed accompanied by viewing the little ruptures and bursts in cell face and collapsed in cell plateau borders. TGA measurement indicated that the inclusion of the fillers into RPUF got worse the samples with comparison of neat RPUF due to the reduction in crosslinking density of the foam. Remarkable improvement (about 25 %) was also obtained in thermal insulation performance at the foam composites containing the fillers due to highly augmentation in number of closed cells and presence of more immobile CO<ce:inf loc=\"post\">2</ce:inf> gas inside the cells. Furthermore, high inclusion of the fillers in RPUF matrix improved compressive strength of the foams by nearly 15 % by enhancing the bending moment and rigidity of RPUF matrices via contributing to the overall stress dispersion. According to linear and mass attenuation coefficients results, the foam composites displayed excellent X-ray radiation shielding performance with increasing of PbO/colemanite content thanks to the density increment and presence of the atoms with high atomic number. Furthermore, at low photon energy levels, better shielding against X-ray radiation was obtained, while vice versa at high energy levels.","PeriodicalId":20861,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Physics and Chemistry","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142670532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this work was to study the effect of the ionizing radiation on the PET physicochemical and physicomechanical properties. For this purpose, samples were irradiated by hig-energy electron beam with energy 10 MeV and dose range 0–600 kGy. The radiation-induced EPR of the signal was measured, and the dose dependence was estimated. As a result, it was found that irradiation with electrons leads to a decrease in the melting temperature and an increase in the melt fluidity and glass transition temperature of PET. The hardness and rigidity of the irradiated samples increase. The changes in properties are explained by the destruction of PET macromolecules, which proceeds with the formation of carboxyl and carbonyl groups.","PeriodicalId":20861,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Physics and Chemistry","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142670530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The parameters of the ionizing radiation detection properties and radiation resistance of using double interfacial oxide layers were analyzed in MOS Schottky diodes. In the analysis, SRIM/TRIM software code was examined theoretically and modeled using simulation. The displacement per atom occurs more in the SnO<sub>2</sub> oxide layer than in the other interface layer. This can be explained by the concept of Bragg Curve Peak, which occurs as a result of ion beam induced doping effect. It has been observed that the electrical properties of the PbO/SnO<sub>2</sub>/p-Si double interface layer MOS Schottky diode structure in terms of sensing ionizing radiation change after ion beam induced doping and the interface states are affected. It has been shown that our double interface layer nano-MOS structure can be used as a ion beam based sensor on these results. In addition to the inelastic collision, without causing ionization NIEL values of PbO and SnO<sub>2</sub> layers were found to be 424.88 MeV. cm<sup>2</sup>/g and 524.9 MeV. cm<sup>2</sup>/g, respectively. These theoretical results were shown as graphs using the TRIM Monte Carlo simulation program and the behavior of the phonons in the layers was modeled. Additionally, LET values were calculated according to layers and compared with the simulation results of TRIM. While the LET value of the PbO layer was 889.3 MeV. cm<sup>2</sup>/g, the LET value of the SnO<sub>2</sub> layer was determined to be 1639 MeV cm<sup>2</sup>/g. The LET concept is visually presented with the TRIM software and it is seen that the displacement per atom is highest in the SnO<sub>2</sub> layer and the Bragg Curve reaches its maximum point. Thus, it can be seen that the SnO<sub>2</sub> layer produces more transient damage and oxide interface traps compared to the PbO layer as ionizing radiation propagates between the oxide layers. By studying the effects of the ion beam source on the MOS Schottky diode structure, it is shown that the double interface layer structure increases the oxide interface traps and the SnO<sub>2</sub> material is promising in terms of radiation sensing and detection properties. Moreover, MOS Schottky states that using a double interface layer instead of a single oxide layer in MOS structures positively increases the number of interface traps in the oxide layer for ion beam radiation detection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20861,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Physics and Chemistry","volume":"227 ","pages":"Article 112366"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142664147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
