Observation of strong thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence (TT-OSL) in BeO
摘要： This work reports the observation of strong thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence (TT-OSL) signal of BeO OSL ceramic detectors. If the detector is irradiated and the OSL signal is measured for a prolonged time (bleached), subsequent OSL measurements result in zero signal. If the same detector, however, is heated to temperatures in the 225 – 335 °C range (at 5 °C/s), subsequent OSL measurements at room temperature result in an intense signal, even without additional irradiation. The TT-OSL is maximum for a pre-heating to 275 °C (if heated linearly at 5 °C/s), reaching a value of 56 % of the original OSL signal. Both OSL and TT-OSL are reproducible (~3 % standard deviation) and linear with dose over the dose range investigated (up to 100 mGy). The shape of the OSL and TT-OSL curves are essentially identical. A possible explanation for this phenomenon is the thermally stimulated transfer of trapped charges from optically inactive traps to optically active traps responsible for the OSL signal. Correlation between the OSL, TT-OSL and the thermoluminescence (TL) peaks suggests the trapping centers associated with the TL peak at ~310 °C/s (at 5 °C/s) as the source of the trapped charges. These results have implication for the re-estimation of the OSL signal in BeO detectors accidentally exposed to light. Not only they provide further evidence that the material is not completely reset simply by bleaching (optical stimulation), but open a new line of investigation into the underlying TL/OSL mechanisms in BeO.

Theoretical studies on the mechanical and electronic properties of 2D and 3D structures of Beryllium-Oxide graphene and graphene nanobud
摘要： In the present study, ab initio-based density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to determine the effects of certain phenomena that can occur in the synthesis of Beryllium-Oxide (BeO) few-layer sheets, such as various types of defects, attaching nanocages onto the surface of graphene and attaching layers to each side of it on the mechanical and electronic properties of BeO graphene sheets. We also used the density of states (DOS) calculations to obtain a better understanding of the electronic properties of the studied nanostructures. In the first step, we calculated Young’s modulus for the pristine BeO graphene sheet that was found to be equal to 1.110 TPa. Next, the effect of small and large defects on the mechanical properties of the BeO graphene-like structure was examined, and we found that extracting one Be atom resulted in a lower Young’s modulus compared to that obtained after extracting one oxygen atom (1.087 TPa versus 1.104 TPa), demonstrating that Be had a greater effect on the stability and mechanical strength of BeO graphene than did oxygen. The same trend was found when comparing three atom vacancies with two missing Be atoms to those with two missing oxygen atoms. Furthermore, the effect of circular and rectangular shape defects was investigated, and the obtained results demonstrated that the increase in the diameter of defects with both shapes significantly decreased Young’s modulus and band gap energy values. Additionally, due to the number of detached atoms in shape defects which are more than those of small defects, this type of defect had a more destructive effect on the structure’s stability so that it decreased the Young’s modulus more than small defects. Moreover, the mechanical properties of the BeO graphene nanobud structure were determined in terms of placing different numbers of Be12O12 nanocages onto the graphene surface, and a similar decreasing trend was observed for Young’s modulus. Finally, we considered the mechanical properties of the bi- and three-layer BeO graphene-like structures and found that increasing the number of layers reduced Young’s modulus slightly. For both of the latter phenomena of attaching nanocages and layers, the band gap energy decreased.

Evaluation of a real-time optically stimulated luminescence beryllium oxide (BeO) fibre-coupled dosimetry system with a superficial 140?kVp X-ray beam
摘要： The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of real-time optically stimulated luminescence (rtOSL) measurements of a beryllium oxide (BeO) ceramic fibre-coupled luminescence dosimetry system. By pulsing the stimulation laser during the exposure to ionizing radiation, an rtOSL dose-rate measurement can be obtained which could be stem effect free. A portable rtOSL BeO ceramic fibre-coupled dosimetry system is presented and characterized using a constant dose-rate superficial 140 kVp X-ray beam. The rtOSL was measured for dose-rates between 0.29 and 3.88 Gy/min, controlled by varying the source to surface distance. After correcting for OSL decay during the exposure, a linear dose-rate response of the change in rtOSL (ΔrtOSL) was observed. The ΔrtOSL was also observed to be stem effect free.

Investigations of the electron paramagnetic resonance parameters and defect structures for Cu2+ ions in BeO crystal with trigonally distorted tetrahedral symmetry
摘要： The electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR) parameters (g factors gi and hyperfine structure constants Ai, where i=x, z) for Cu2+ ions embedded in beryllium oxide (BeO) crystal at Be2+ sites with C3v local symmetry have been calculated by the complete diagonalization method (CDM) and high-order perturbation theory method (PTM). The calculated results from the two methods are in reasonable agreement with the observed data available. The defect structural data of the trigonal Cu2+ center in beryllium oxide are determined from the calculations and analyses.The calculated results show that the Be2+ ions are replaced by Cu2+ ions in BeO crystal and the ligands undergo outward movement.

The Calibration Process of OSL Detectors used for Staff and Patient Dosimetry in Hospital Environment
摘要： The optically stimulated luminescence (OSL-BeO) dosemeter is increasingly being used as a dosimetric technique in various fields such as medical dosimetry. According to our fixed dose protocol, the activities of 3.7-7.4 GBq I-131 source is used for thyroid carcinoma therapy. The in house calibration process for usage of OSL’s at hospital was arranged according to the encapsulated I-131. The measurement point was planned in three different radial distances from source free in air. The dose-rate measurement was done by Geiger-Muller (GM), and then three pieces of OSL was placed in the same positions for one hour. The inverse square law consistency was found (R2=0.99). The calibration coefficient was calculated. For determining the performance of OSL at different dose rates, it used for personnel and patient dosimetry. The average annual dose/2mon to the whole body for all staff by OSL were 0.80 mSv. After administration of 3.7 GBq (100 mCi) therapeutic dose to selected patients, the average pectoral dose was 97.5+32.6 mSv. This calibration process is helpful for confidence of OSL detectors used for dosimetry of staff and patients treated with high activity I-131.
