In this work, we report some preliminary results regarding the analysis of electron spin resonance (ESR) response of soda-lime samples used for retrospective dosimetry. Six different soda-lime glass batches were evaluated after irradiation. We compared several dose reconstruction techniques: saturation method, subtraction method and g-effective, geff, approach. The differences were observed and discussed. ESR signal responses of soda-lime glass samples to different radiation doses for the triage application were investigated. Results confirmed that geff approach has potential for the identification and dosimetry of irradiated soda-lime glass samples using either additive dose method or only calibration curve.

The Effect of H Fluence Irradiation on the Optical, Structural, and Morphological Properties of ZnO Thin Films.

Departamento de Física, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Ciudad de México 04510, Mexico.
Polycrystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited on soda-lime glass substrates using the chemical spray pyrolysis method at 450 °C. The samples were irradiated with 8 keV H ions at three different fluences using a Colutron ion gun. The effects of the irradiation on the structural, morphological, and optical properties were studied with different techniques, including Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Ultraviolet and Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis).

Materials And Methods: This study involved four groups of 23 specimens: Indirect conventional resin composite (ICRC), subtractively manufactured resin composite (SMRC), additively manufactured resin composite (AMRC), and soda-lime-silica glass (SLSG). One specimen per group was analyzed by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) before polishing.
New experimental methodology for determining the second crossover energy in insulators under stationary e-irradiation in a SEM.

A new experimental methodology is proposed which uses the electrostatic influence method (EIM) in scanning electron microscope (SEM) in order to estimate the second crossover energy E for uncharged insulators. This experimental methodology based on simultaneous time measurement of the displacement and leakage currents, is approached to the short pulse irradiation technique but under stationary e-irradiation and allows determining the intrinsic secondary electron emission yield, σ (σ is the value of the total secondary electron yield just at the beginning of the irradiation before significant charge accumulation or before the formation of a surface potential). The obtained value of E for soda-lime glass is confirmed by two additional experiments based on secondary electron imaging.

Due to its high durability and transparency, soda lime glass holds a huge potential for several applications such as photovoltaics, optical instrumentation and biomedical devices, among others. The different technologies request specific properties, which can be enhanced through the modification of the surface morphology with a nanopattern. Here, we report a simple method to nanostructure a glass surface with soft lithography and wet-chemical etching in potassium hydroxide (KOH) solutions.

This paper presents an experimental approach to the study of the compressive strength, isothermal calorimetry and life cycle assessment (LCA) of alkali-activated pastes based on soda-lime-silica glass, established to investigate the effect of the nature and proportion of the activator. Four different activators are compared: Portland cement, sodium silicate, sodium carbonate (at four percentages by weight: 5, 10, 15 and 25 wt% relative to glass) and sodium hydroxide (3.5 wt%).
