This paper presents an overview of some very recent developments in optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimetry using aluminium oxide (Al2O3:C), with special emphasis given to the work of the research group at Oklahoma State University. Some of the advances are: (i) the development of a real-time optical fibre system for in vivo dosimetry applied to radiotherapy; (ii) the development of a fibre dosimetry system for remote detection of radiological contaminants in soil; (iii) the characterisation of Al2O3:C in heavy charged particle fields and the study of ionisation density dependence of the OSL from Al2O3:C; and (iv) fast and separate assessment of beta and gamma components of the natural dose rate in natural sediments. These achievements highlight the versatility of the OSL technique associated with the high-sensitivity of Al2O3:C for the development of new dosimetry applications.

Development of high performance uncooled infrared detector materials Kebapçı, Başak; Akın, Tayfun; Turan, Raşit; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2011) This thesis reports both the optimizations of the vanadium oxide (VOx) thin film as an active infrared detector material by the magnetron sputtering deposition method and its use during fabrication of proper resistors for the microbolometers. Vanadium oxide is a preferred material for microbolometers, as it provides high TCR value, low noise, and reasonable resistance, and a number of high-tech companies have used this material to obtain state-of-the-art microbolometer arrays. This material is first used in...
A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON INTERACTIONS OF IONIC COLLECTORS WITH ORTHOCLASE ÖZÜN, Savaş; Atalay, Mustafa Ümit (2016-01-01) Flotation and adsorption characteristics of the most commonly used cationic and anionic collectors with high grade orthoclase were investigated through the electrokinetic potential measurement, microflotation, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies. According to the obtained results, orthoclase had high flotation recovery with amine and oleic acid based (OAB) collector at certain pH ranges no flotation response was observed with petroleum sulfonate at differ...
Numerical investigations on the hydrogen jet pressure variations in a strut based scramjet combustor Suppandipillai, Jeyakumar; Kandasamy, Jayaraman; Sivakumar, R.; Karaca, Mehmet; Karthik, K. (2021-04-01) Purpose – This paper aims to study the influences of hydrogen jet pressure on flow features of a strut-based injector in a scramjet combustor underreacting cases are numerically investigated in this study. Design/methodology/approach – The numerical analysis is carried out using Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations with the Shear Stress Transport k-v turbulence model in contention to comprehend the flow physics during scramjet combustion. The three major parameters such as the shock wave pattern...
Rigorous designs of nano-optical couplers and absorbers with photonic crystals involving irregular arrays and nonidentical elements Yazar, Şirin; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9) This thesis presents design and analyses of compact and effective nano-optical couplers and absorbers based on photonic crystals. Single-input and double-input nano-optical couplers that provide electromagnetic wave transmission in desired directions are designed, and important parameters regarding their transmission efficiency are investigated. These designs are further cascaded by adding one after another to create nano-optical transmission systems, whose transmission characteristics are also examined. In...
A study on the effects of gamma radiation on the properties of polycarbonate Kinalır, Kerim Gökhan; Usanmaz, Ali; Kaynak, Cevdet; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2011) This thesis aims to investigate the effects of gamma radiation on the properties of polycarbonate, an engineering thermoplastic which has a wide range of applications. A commercial grade polycarbonate resin, after being shaped into the required specimen forms by injection molding, was irradiated with different doses up to 180 kGy. Tensile strength was found to decrease with increasing dose. The lowest values of tensile modulus, flexural modulus and flexural strength were obtained at 96 kGy, which is also th...
