Data from the elemental composition-ratios and experimental prompt gamma spectra of samples were used to develop suitable discriminant classes for suspect samples. The collected data and gamma spectra were applied to principal component analysis (PCA) to discriminate explosives from non-explosive materials.

Radioactive cesium released into the atmosphere caused by the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in March 2011 has contaminated the surrounding area. We confirmed the applicability of in-situ methods to evaluate the depth distribution of Cs by employing the ratio of Compton-scattering and photo-peak components (r) obtained from measured gamma-ray spectra. In the present study, we applied the in-situ method to farmlands in Fukushima Prefecture whose sites were disturbed by decontamination and plowing operations.

Purpose: Two-shot γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) difference editing techniques have been used widely to detect the GABA H4 resonance at 3.01 ppm. Here, we introduce a single-shot method for detecting the full GABA H2 resonance signal, which avoids contamination from the coedited M macromolecules.

γ-valerolactone (GVL) and its unmethylated counterpart, γ-butyrolactone (GBL), are important compounds with a wide range of potential uses. For example, GVL is proposed as an ideal alternative renewable energy source, while GBL can be utilized as an electrolyte. Understanding the combustion mechanisms of these compounds is crucial for optimizing their use as energy sources and monitoring the products formed during combustion.

CuZnSn(S,Se) (CZT(S,Se)) thin films exhibit the characteristics necessary to be effective absorbers in solar cells. In this report, the room temperature experimental Raman scattering spectra, recorded at different excitation wavelengths, are systematically analyzed theoretically using the results of DFT harmonic frequencies calculations at the Γ-point for various modifications of kesterite (KS), stannite (ST), and pre-mixed Cu-Au (PMCA) crystal structures. The specific anharmonism-induced features in the spectra of CZT(S,Se) crystals are identified, and the spectral lineshapes at varied strengths of anharmonic interaction are simulated.

Article Synopsis
- Barium fluoride borosilicate glass samples, reinforced with varying amounts of GdO, were created to study their structural, physical, and optical properties as well as their ability to attenuate γ-rays.
- X-ray diffraction confirmed the glasses were amorphous, and did show slight increases in density and molar volume with more GdO.
- UV-Vis spectra indicated increased absorbance and shifts in optical properties, suggesting that these materials could be useful for opto-electronic devices and radiation shielding.
