On the origin of primary 1/2 a(0) and a(0) loops in irradiated Fe(Cr) alloys

Robin Schäublin, Anna Prokhodtseva

The radiation-induced primary dislocation loops in thin foils of ultra-high purity Fe and Fe(Cr) model alloys were investigated using ion irradiation in situ in a TEM. In the '111 mechanism' the induced nanometric loops of type a(0) stem from mutual ...

A Radiation-Tolerant, high performance SPAD for SiPMs implemented in CMOS technology

Edoardo Charbon, Myung Jae Lee, Qi Guo

We investigate the radiation effects on single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) fabricated in CMOS technology. For this investigation, a high-performance SPAD based on a vertical p-i-n construction with buried-N layer is proposed and used for the characteri ...

Varicocele percutaneous embolization outcomes in a pediatric group: 7-year retrospective study

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Percutaneous embolization and surgical repair are the current treatment options for varicocele, but determining method superiority remains controversial. In this retrospective study, we evaluate the technical success, complication and recurrence rates foll ...

Low Doses of Ionizing Radiation Promote Tumor Growth and Metastasis by Enhancing Angiogenesis

Natsuko Imaizumi

Radiotherapy is a widely used treatment option in cancer. However, recent evidence suggests that doses of ionizing radiation (IR) delivered inside the tumor target volume, during fractionated radiotherapy, can promote tumor invasion and metastasis. Further ...

Radiation sensitivity of microelectromechanical system devices

Herbert Shea

The sensitivity of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices to radiation is reviewed, with an emphasis on radiation levels representative of space missions rather than of operation in nuclear reactors. As a purely structural material, silicon has shown ...
