This work investigates the physical properties of Al1−xScxN thin films sputtered at low temperatures by varying process conditions. Specifically, were deposited room temperature applying a radio frequency power equal to 150 W an AlSc alloy (60:40) target, nitrogen flux percentage in (Ar + N2) sputtering atmosphere (30%, 40%, 50%, and 60%) keeping constant working pressure 5 × 10−3 mbar. The structural chemical studied x-ray diffraction Rutherford backscattering spectrometry techniques,...
Radiocarbon dating by AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry) is a well-established absolute technique widely used in different areas of research for the analysis wide range organic materials. Precision levels order 0.2–0.3% measured age are nowadays achieved while several international intercomparison exercises have shown high degree reproducibility results. This paper discusses applications 14C related to samples up-taking carbon from marine pools such as sea and oceans. For this kind relevant...
ABSTRACT The determination of the proportion between biogenic and fossil-derived fraction in carbon dioxide emissions from industrial stationary sources is a relevant aspect frame worldwide efforts to reduce greenhouse gas into atmosphere. In this field 14 C-based method has gained importance over years been included standard protocols accepted at both national international levels. advantages method, based on large difference terms C signature fossil carbon, are reviewed as well some...
A dedicated sample processing line for the extraction of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) from seawater and groundwater accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon analysis has been developed at CEDAD, Center Dating Diagnostic University Salento, Lecce, Italy. The features new system are presented together with tests carried out to determine its functionality background levels. first results obtained CEDAD analyzing samples taken Northern Adriatic compare well same analyzed ETH Zurich.
Abstract A new sputtering ion source has been installed at CEDAD (Centre for Dating and Diagnostics) the University of Salento in Lecce, Italy. The installation source, capable accepting both solid gas samples, required significant modifications existing low energy injector accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) system. is connected, through an in-house designed handling interface, to elemental analyzer which combusts samples carbon dioxide splits into IRMS system also feed line source. This...
This work presents results regarding the p + 11 B → 3α 8.7MeV aneutronic fusion reaction. We obtained such by directing a 0.675 MeV proton beam from Tandetron accelerator to solid Boron sample, varying incidence angle. Three different detectors were used reveal alpha particles emitted during experiments. The evidence leads us propose an innovative scheme investigate yield of reaction when is directed against laser induced plasma.
Radiation damage tests in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) flexible flux and dose-measuring devices have been performed with a 3 MeV proton beam, to evaluate combined displacement total ionizing dose damage. The tested had two different configurations thicknesses. first device was 2 um thick n-i-p diode having 5 mm x area. second charge selective contact detector the same Both were deposited on polyimide substrate irradiated up fluence of 1016 neq/cm2. response fluxes has measured...
