1. 1. Prototyping of an automated cyclic Neutron Activation Analysis setup

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Cornelius Maurer; [2022]
   Keywords : Nuclear Physics; Neutron activation analysis; cyclic-NAA; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : A prototype Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) setup based on a Deuterium-Tritium (DT) neutron generator is under development at Lund University. It serves as proof-of-principle for NAA based on a Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source. READ MORE

3. 2. Monte-Carlo simulations of an AmBe neutron source

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Josefine Sjöberg; [2021]
   Keywords : Serpent; neutron; gamma; radiation dose; AmBe source; polyethylene;

   Abstract : The Department of Physics and Astronomy in Uppsala is planning to construct a source-based neutron irradiation facility at Ångströms laboratory. The purpose of this facility will, as of now, mainly be for students and employees to conduct scientific experiments and to calibrate the university's neutron scintillator detectors. READ MORE

4. 3. Development of a Neutron Activation Analysis station at the Lund Ion Beam Analysis Facility

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Josephine Lindsey-Clark; [2021]

5. 4. Gamma Radiation-Induced Synthesis of Cerium Oxide Mesocrystals

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Michel Goy; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Nanoparticles of cerium dioxide was synthesized by gamma irradiation of aqueous solutions containing CeCl3 and CeBr3. ICP-OES was used to determine the precipitation yield. X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscope were used to characterize the products. READ MORE

6. 5. Mechanical and Thermal Characterisation of Novel UHMWPE Composites for Total Joint Arthroplasty

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Julian Somberg; [2019]
   Keywords : UHMWPE; Nanocomposites; DSC; Fracture Toughness; Wear;

   Abstract : Total joint arthroplasty surgeries are known to have a high success rate but the longevity of the implants still acts as a limiting factor. Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene is the material of choice for the implant bearing surfaces due to its excellent clinical and tribological performance. READ MORE
