Abstract Pulsed laser for radiation sensitivity evaluation has become a common tool used in research and industrial laboratory. This paper aims to highlight an approach to understand weaknesses of a component under radiation environment using a short pulsed width laser beam coupled to thermography technique, heavy ions test inputs and physical analysis. This paper is based on a study of a PWM device embedded on voltage converter.

Abstract Cerium oxide (ceria) contains two stable states of cerium ions (Ce3+ and Ce4+). The presence of these two states and the ability to swap from one state to another (Ce3+ ↔ Ce4+) by scavenging the highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from radiolysis of water, ensure the enhanced stability of polysulfone (Psf) membranes in the γ-radiation environment. In this study, the ROS scavenging ability of ceria was studied. Ceria nanoparticles were found to scavenge ROS like hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The H2O2 scavenging is due to the peroxidase-like catalytic activity of ceria nanoparticles. The ROS scavenging is responsible for offering protection to the Psf host matrix and in turn the stability to the Psf-ceria mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) in γ-radiation environment. Thus, presence of ceria nanoparticles provides an opportunity for utilizing Psf-ceria MMMs in ionizing radiation environment with increased life span, without compromise in the performance.

AbstractSensors for structural health monitoring (SHM) need to be permanently integrated on structures and withstand the harsh service environments, which has been a big challenge for the application of SHM in aircrafts. This paper focuses on the durability of flexible eddy current array (FECA) sensors in harsh service environments of aircrafts, including vibration environment and several typical exposed environments. First, a kind of FECA sensor is illustrated and its integration method is proposed. Moreover, in order to study the durability of the sensor in vibration environment, the modal analysis is performed by the finite element method. According to the simulation results, the durability experiment in vibration environment is carried out under the fourth order vibration mode, which makes the sensor suffer the harshest vibration loads. During the vibration experiment, output signals of the sensor keep stable and the sensor is well bonded to the structure, which shows the integrated sensor has high durability in vibration environment. Finally, the durability of integrated sensors is separately tested in three exposed environments, including salt fog corrosion environment, fluid immersion environment, as well as hygrothermal and ultraviolet-radiation environment. After these environmental exposure experiments, all sensors are well bonded to structures and can effectively monitor fatigue cracks, which shows great durability. Therefore, FECA sensors can survive in harsh service environments of aircrafts, which provides important support for the engineering applications of FECA sensors.

Semiconducting Thin Films

High-energy electron, proton, neutron, photon and ion irradiation of semiconductor diodes and solar cells has long been a topic of considerable interest in the field of semiconductor device fabrication. The inevitable damage production during the process of irradiation is used to study and engineer the defects in semiconductors. In a strong radiation environment in space, the electrical performance of solar cells is degraded due to direct exposure to energetically charged particles. A considerable amount of work has been reported on the study of radiation damage in various solar cell materials and devices in the recent past. In most cases, high-energy heavy ions damage the material by producing a large amount of extended defects, but high-energy light ions are suitable for producing and modifying the intrinsic point defects. The defects can play a variety of electronically active roles that affect the electrical, structural and optical properties of a semiconductor. This review article aims to present an overview of the advancement of research in the modification of glassy semiconducting thin films using different types of radiations (light, proton and swift heavy ions). The work which has been done in our laboratory related to irradiation induced effects in semiconducting thin films will also be compared with the existing literature.
