Photoemission Spectroscopy Studies of New Topological Insulator Materials
(2015-08-04)
As the size of a solid shrinks, the ratio of surface area to bulk volume grows and
surface effects become more important. In a world where technologies advance with the
shrinking size of electronic devices, one phase of ...
Modeling and Design of a Silicon-Based High-Pressure 3HE Replacement Neutron Detector
(University of Missouri–Kansas City, 2015)
3He has stood as a major isotope used for neutron detection for many years. Due to national concerns of a possible 3He shortage, significant effort has been put forth, in the form of 3He alternative research, to push the ...
Neutron Response Vectorization and Optimization of Moderating Neutron Spectrometers for Active Interrogation
(University of Missouri–Kansas City, 2015)
The detection of special nuclear material (SNM) is no trivial task; the low activity of isotopes such as 235U and the ease of shielding make their passive detection virtually impossible in the maritime environment. Active ...
