Influence of neutron irradiation and temperature on the electric conductivity of SiO2 nanoparticles

Transformation of SiO2 Particles to Si Film via Al-Assisted Electrochemical Reduction in Molten CaCl2

“…[12][13][14][15] Electrochemical reduction of SiO 2 is a challenging process due to the non-conductivity and the high reduction potential of SiO 2 . 16,17 Furthermore, it is necessary to provide a path for O 2− ions to escape from the SiO 2 matrix during the reduction process, as O 2− ion accumulation at the reducing surface can lead to unwanted oxide formation. 18,19 Therefore, to facilitate SiO 2 reduction, it is crucial to form a uniform and extensive three-phase interface between SiO 2 , an electron-donating conductor, and an appropriate electrolyte.…”

Study of the entropy and enthalpy of gamma irradiated TiC nanoparticles

“…Titanium carbide, like other materials at this scale, showcases unique functional attributes and distinctive physical properties [15][16][17]. Considering these inherent characteristics of nanomaterials, our research endeavors encompass a comprehensive investigation into the effects of ionizing irradiation on diverse types of nanomaterials [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. The considerable specific surface area of nanomaterials can give rise to a discernible difference in surface heat transport, influencing various physical processes, and particularly exerting a noteworthy impact on thermophysical phenomena.…”

JSI TRIGA neutron and gamma field characterization by TLD measurements

“…If none, delete this. radiation tolerance testing [2] and material sample irradiation [3]. Numerous activities for validation of the computational model such as reaction rate measurements [4], [5], neutron and gamma field measurements using fission and ionization chambers [6], [7] have led to a validated representative computational model, which has been used for a more rigorous characterization of a steady state radiation field inside its irradiation facilities [8], [9].…”
