Design optimisation of C ion implantation of α-Al2O3 for medical dosimetry

On the paradigm of Hierarchically Structured Materials, in conjunction with the Virtual Special Issue on Functional Materials

“…In the fabrication of planar structures, it is natural to consider combining different layers for the creation of new functional materials. Additional layers and induced defects [11,12], the variation in thickness [13] and chemical composition through copolymerization [14], implantation or sputter doping [15,16] vary the structure, introducing a number of subelements (dots or layers) with dimension in the 1-200 nm range, ultimately allowing fine tuning of the performance.…”

Investigation of x‐ray response for flexible nanocomposite membranes of metal oxides and poly(vinyl alcohol)

“…X-ray detection has attracted a great deal of attention due to its potential applications in the fields of safety, identification of crystal structure, astronomy, as well as scientific research. 1 Conventional detectors that are based on silicone are normally the main choice for x-ray radiation detection applications. Nevertheless, despite of their excellent performance, silicon based detectors suffer from few drawbacks, including: the size limit (to the size of the wafers), and stiffness of the wafers thus they cannot be fixed on curved surfaces.…”
