A study of nuclear structure for 244Cm, 241Am, 238Pu, 210Po, 147Pm, 137Cs, 90Sr and 63Ni nuclei used in nuclear battery

Abstract

In this paper, we intend to extend the nuclear data of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] nuclei used in nuclear battery technology, because, these nuclei are quite important for space investigations in radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) and for microelectronic technologies in betavoltaic batteries. Therefore, the nuclear structure properties of nuclei such as separation energies, neutron skin thicknesses, proton, charge and neutron density distributions as a function of radius, the root mean square (rms) proton, charge and neutron radii, binding energies per particle, have been investigated by Hartree–Fock with eight different Skyrme forces. The obtained results have been compared with the experimental data in literature and relativistic mean field theory (RMFT) results.

Investigation of some nuclear structure properties of213Bi,201Tl,188Re,186Re,133Xe,131I,125I,123I,111In,94Tc,90Y,67Ga,67Cu,62Cu,61Cu,55Co, and48Vnuclei used in SPECT in axial deformation

“…The code defines index of quasiparticles to be blocked by taking into account the overlap between quasiparticle wave function and single particle wave function based on the Nilsson quantum numbers supplied in input of the code [6,37,38]. Tables 1 and 2 [1][2][3]6].…”

“…The structure and properties of nuclei have been explained by nuclear structure [1][2][3][4][5][6] and reaction theories [7][8][9][10][11][12] such as Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) approach for the determination of nuclear properties of spherical nuclei, e.g., the root mean square (rms) charge, proton, neutron radii and the binding energies [1][2][3][4][5]. For accurate determination of nuclear structure and properties of nuclei, many force interactions such as SKM*, SLY4, DS1 etc.…”

“…To calculate the nuclear properties of nuclei which have not been calculated up to now, HFBTHO, which may calculate the properties of odd-odd or oddeven nuclei in axial deformation, allows to meet deficiency in the literature. For the medical nucleus selection, the calculations of SPECT nuclei are suitable for odd nuclei, and although the studies including the nuclear properties of PET nuclei, and the nuclei used in nuclear batteries [2] are available in the literature, there are not any calculations for SPECT nuclei. Additionally, the obtained results via new version of the code HFBTHO 3.00 pave the way for understanding of axial approach, and Skyrme, Gogny interactions used in code.…”

Investigation of the Nuclear Structure Properties of 60Co via Phenomenological Approach

“…Furthermore, for the neutron ( ), proton ( ), deuteron ( ), triton ( ), he-3 ( −3 ) and alpha ( ), the separation energies of nuclei are also quite important in halo and skin behaviors of nuclei, and in r-process [6,[26][27][28]. Therefore, we calculated separation energies of 60 Co by Talys code [29].…”

Synergistic enhancement of CdSe / ZnS quantum dot and liquid scintillator for radioluminescent nuclear batteries

“…The scintillator material can convert high‐energy radiation particles into low‐energy visible light, and then combined with energy conversion technology can achieve electrical energy supply and reduce the radiation damage effect of PV devices 9,10 . Different types of radiation particles can be considered as the excitation sources of nuclear batteries, among which X‐ray has strong penetrating ability and weak radiation damage effect on devices 11‐14 . X‐ray‐based long‐life self‐powered technology has broad application prospects in many fields such as radiation safety testing, communication sensing, and high‐energy physics research, especially for the special needs of deep space exploration 15,16 …”
