Detection of Irradiated Food and Evaluation of the Given Dose by Electron Spin Resonance, Thermoluminescence, and Gas Chromatographic/Mass Spectromet…
2018
Abstract The treatment of food with ionizing radiation, at doses lower than 10 kGy, is a preservation technology, which can be used to reduce food spoilage due to microorganisms and to decrease insect infestation, enhancing, in the same time, the hygienic quality, extending the shelf life of food itself. In order to increase the general consumer acceptance and accordingly to facilitate the commercialization and trade of irradiated food, the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) validated reliable analytical techniques to identify irradiated foodstuffs for legal control purposes, distinguished in Chemical, Physical, and Microbiological ones, depending on the characteristics of marker …
Elastic properties of UV irradiated polyethylene-octene copolymer composites with functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes
2016
ABSTRACTPolyethylene-octene copolymer (E38) is melt compounded with carboxylated carbon nanotubes (CNT-COOH) in the presence of maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PEgMA). The effects of CNT-COOH in the amount of 1–10 wt. % on the mechanical properties of E38 based composite are investigated. It is revealed that addition of CNT-COOH considerably increases the stiffness and mechanical strength of the E38 based composites. The effect of UV irradiation on the structure as well as on the mechanical properties of E38/PEgMA/CNT-COOH composites is also investigated. Results of the investigation testify that UV resistance of the E38 based composites increases by increasing the content of CNT-COO…
Angular dependence of recombination luminescence-detected EPR in a ZnO crystal
2015
Angular dependency of electron paramagnetic resonance, optically detected by UV-excited recombination luminescence (RL-EPR), was measured for nominally pure ZnO single crystals. Observed magnetic resonances belong to the broad yellow RL band with slow decay centred at 610 nm, which is characteristic of untreated ZnO crystals. In the sample, irradiated with the 266 nm UV laser, an additional RL band centred at 740 nm appears, which has considerably faster decay time than the yellow one. This RL band is characteristic of the luminescence of Fe3+ ions in the ZnO crystals. It could be observed only after the UV laser treatment. No RL-EPR signal was detected for this RL band. Our spectral simula…
Polymerization and Damage of C60 Single Crystals under Low Fluency Laser Irradiation
2001
Photo-induced hardening, substructure formation and damage of C 60 single crystals under the 632.8 nm He-Ne laser irradiation in air at a power density of 1.47 mW/mm 2 was investigated by microhardness and AFM methods. Photo-induced formation of the dislocation substructure and crystallographically oriented crack patterns on the (111) face due to lattice contraction on polymerization were observed. Two phototransformed states: soft (400-450 MPa) and hard (650-1000 MPa) are found to appear under laser-irradiation. Hard fullerite is created in the subsurface layer < 1 μm at the saturation stage of phototransformation. It softens to 400-450 MPa at 340 K and reverts to non-polymerized state at …
Computational study of the influence of oxygen vacancies on the polarization in irradiated and annealed PLZT ceramics
2002
A physical model for the oxygen defect evolution in PLZT ceramics under neutron irradiation and annealing is proposed. The influence of the defect system on the polarization of these materials has been investigated. The influence of the La content on the material structure and the oxygen defects has been taken into account. Satisfactory agreement between the theoretically estimated oxygen defect concentration after irradiation and annealing and the experimentally determined polarization has been obtained.
Influence of Structure Ordering, Defects and External Conditions on Properties of Ferroelectric Perovskites
2000
Results of comprehensive studies of the (A’A“)(B’B”)O3-ferroelectric perovskites are reported. Examined compositions include Pb1-xLax(Zr0.65Ti0.35)1-x/4O3(PLZT), PbSc0.5Nb0.5O3(PSN), PbSc0.5Ta0.5O3(PST), and PMNT, PSNT and PLuNT pseudo-binary systems exhibiting pronounced dielectric, electrooptical, and electromechanical properties. Degree of ordering in the materials has been varied by chemical composition (modification, isomorphic ion substitution), by variation of technology (hot-pressing, specific thermal treatment, thin films), and by irradiation of different kind and intensity (γ-rays, electrons, neutrons).
Antiferroelectric PbZrO3 thin films: structure, properties and irradiation effects
2004
Abstract Irradiation effects on highly oriented antiferroelectric PbZrO 3 and ferroelectric Pb 0.92 La 0.08 (Zr 0.65 Ti 0.35 )O 3 thin films are investigated being exposed to neutron irradiation up to fluence 2*10 22 m −2 . The higher resistance of antiferroelectric PbZrO 3 thin films as compared to ferroelectric heterostructures to large fluences of neutron irradiation is recognized and discussed. Influence of two factors (structural and charge) was taken into account analysing irradiation effects on materials of different polarization states: ferroelectric PLZT (ceramics and thin films) and antiferroelectric PbZrO 3 films.
Dielectric spectra of electron-irradiated PSN ceramics
1997
The influence of electron-irradiation on the dielectric properties of transparent PSN ferroelectric ceramics is studied by low (LF) and infralow (ILF) frequency spectrum analysis. Redistribution of relaxation frequencies caused by electron-irradiation has been discovered and is related to pinning impacts of the radiation-induced defects.
<title>Changes in the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant in irradiated antiferroelectric thin films</title>
2003
A model describing the changes of the Curie-Weiss temperature in lead-zirconate thin films under neutron irradiation is proposed. The Curie-Weiss temperature in the irradiated material decreases which is connected to charges caused by neutron irradiation. The charges located near the surfaces due to Schottky effect and in the bulk of the film results in different rates of the Curie-Weiss temperature decreases with neutron fluence. However the influence of the Schottky layers seems to be more pronounced. Satisfactory agreement between the theoretical results and the experimental data is obtained for different neutron fluences.© (2003) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Eng…
