A study on the production method of thin films for low-energy beta measurement
The primary standard for coincidence counting of 4πβ(PPC)-γ requires thin films that minimize the attenuation of beta particles. In this study, we developed a method to control the thickness of these films. Traditional methods for producing thin films often resulted in wrinkles over time; however, our newly developed approaches allow for the production of wrinkle-free thin films with adjustable thickness. We designed specialized equipment for thin film production and analyzed the relationship between solution volume and resulting film thickness. Films were produced using a mixture of collodion and isopentyl acetate with volumes ranging from 20 μL to 80 μL, resulting in thicknesses from approximately 40 nm–160 nm. The effect of film thickness on low-energy radiation was experimentally analyzed using 59Ni sources and compared with Monte Carlo simulations. Results confirm that film thickness significantly affects the measurement of low-energy electrons like Auger electrons, while having minimal impact on X-rays of similar energy.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
