Chemical sensor using single crystal diamond plates interrogated with charge-based deep-level transient spectroscopy based on the Quantum Fingerprint[TM] model : instrumentation and methodology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)In recent years, diamond has received a great deal of interest as a potential chemical sensor material due to its mechanical robustness, and its capacity to modify its electrical characteristics according to surface ... -
Dosimetric properties and radiation hardness of the storage phosphor europium doped potassium chloride for radiation therapy dosimetry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Multidimensional reusable dosimeters are extremely important for characterizing the complex dose distributions associated with modern radiation therapy techniques, such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). In ... -
Neutron exposure from electrom linear accelerators and a proton accelerator : measurements and simulations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)The risk of developing radiation induced secondary cancers in patients undergoing external beam radiotherapy is a concern; particularly from secondary neutrons generated during delivery of high energy photon and proton ... -
Total hemispherical emissivity of very high temperature reactor (VHTR) candidate materials : Hastelloy X, Haynes 230, and Alloy 617
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)An experimental system was constructed in accordance with the standard ASTM C835-06 to measure the total hemispherical emissivity of structural materials of interest in Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) systems. The ...
