Microfluidic channels obtained by SU-8 photolithography and filled with liquid scintillators were recently demonstrated to be an interesting technology for the implementation of novel particle detectors. The main advantages of this approach are the intrins ...
Three-dimensional (3D) silicon detectors offer advantages over standard planar devices as more radiation hard sensors. These detectors and their applications in the upgrades of the LHC experiments are discussed. 3D detectors with a double-sided geometry ha ...
Commercial glass frits (lead borosilicate glasses) were employed as the sintering aids to reduce the sintering temperatures of BST ceramics. The effects of the glass content and the sintering temperature on the microstructures, dielectric properties and tu ...
To predict hydrologic responses to inputs and perturbations, it is important to understand how precipitation is stored in catchments, released back to the atmosphere via evapotranspiration (ET), or transported to aquifers and streams. We investigated this ...
The reactivity loss of PWR fuel with burnup has been investigated experimentally by measuring the reactivity worths of highly-burnt fuel samples in a PWR test lattice in the framework of the LWR-PROTEUS Phase II program. Seven UO2 samples cut from fuel rod ...
The underlying physical mechanism of the so-called colossal dielectric constant phenomenon in CaCu3Ti4O12 CCTO thin films were investigated by using semiconductor theories and methods. The semiconductivity of CCTO thin films originated from the acceptor de ...
Charging and coagulation influence one another and impact the particle charge and size distributions in the atmosphere. However, few investigations to date have focused on the coagulation kinetics of atmospheric particles accumulating charge. This study pr ...
All chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes rely on the adsorption and decomposition of precursors on a substrate to deposit the desired material. The growth rate of the film is determined by the surface kinetics of the utilized precursor molecules and g ...
The complexation reactions between strontium (Sr2+) and octyl(phenyl)-N,N-diisobutylcarbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO) were studied at the aqueous vertical bar 1,2-dichloroethane (w vertical bar DCE) and aqueous vertical bar room-temperature ionic liqui ...
A measurement station has been built for the non-destructive investigation of burnt fuel rod segments through high-resolution gamma spectrometry. Four UO2 pressurised water reactor fuel rod segments with different burnup levels between 50 and 100GWd/t and ...
