Entropy produced in heavy ion collisions

A new observable,yield ratio of d/(d t ^3He ^4He)produced in heavy ion reactions is suggested as a measure of entropy.It is found that in quantum statistical model (QSM),which is quite commonly used for extracting the entropy,the relation between this ratio and entropy is almost linear and independent of break-up density and N/Z ratio of the system.The experimental data of ^12C ^197Au from 30MeV/u to 84MeV/u and of ^197Au ^197Au from 100McV/u to 250MeV/u are compared with QSM calcuation results.The values of entropy are obtained for C Au and Au Au system without assumption on break-up density.     

Development of laser ion source for heavy ion applications

We have been developing a high-performance laser ion source (LIS) for practical applications since 2009. Ideally, the LIS should generate a carbon beam with a peak current of 20 mA and a pulse duration of over 1 μs. We selected a Nd:YAG laser with a Gaussian-coupled resonator as the laser source based on our experience of generating high-charge-state ion beams. This laser can produce fundamental pulses with a power of 650 mJ and durations of about 6 ns. The graphite target used is 10 cm high and 10 cm in diameter, as it can be irradiated with up to 10⁵ laser shots. The maximum extraction voltage was designed to be 50 kV. We have already finished designing the LIS and we commenced fabrication. We intend to measure the source performance by performing plasma and beam tests up to the end of March 2011.     

Neutron yields and emission rates in the forward direction for 50MeV／u ^18O—ion on thick Be,Cu,Au targets

Total neutron yields and neutron emission rates in the forward direction for 50MeV/u ^18O-ion on thick Be,Cu,Au targets have been measured using an activation technique.The results indicate that neutron yields and emission rates in the forward direction depend on the atomic number of target nuclei,i.e.the lighter target the greater neurtron yield and neutron emission rate.Meanwhile,the neutron yield of ^18O-ion is greater than that of 12C-ion when target nucleus and incident energy per nucleon are identical.

高能重离子在聚合物中的辐照效应研究

Ion irradiation of polymers can induce irreversible changes in their macroscopic properties such as electrical and optical properties and the surface-related mechanical properties. Electronic excitation, ionization, chains scission, cross-links and mass losses are accepted as the fundamental events that give rise to the observed macroscopic changes. Detailed and systematic study of radiation induced effects in polymers enriches not only the knowledge of ion-material interactions but also supplies new bases for polymeric materials synthesis through ion-beam technologies. Previous work has concentrated mainly on effects induced by low-ionization particles such as γ-rays and electrons. Since 1980,s the application of high energy heavy ion accelerators enables the use of high energy heavy ion as an irradiation source, and many new and exciting effects and phenomena have been revealed.Energetic heavy ions in matter lose energy mainly through electronic excitation and ionization. Compared to low-ionization particles, high energy heavy ion possesses higher LET(linear energy transfer) values which can reach several to several tens keV/nm. As most of the primary ionizations and excitations occur close to the ion trajectory in a core of a few nanometers in diameter, a continuous damaged zone along the ion path can be induced,in which all bonds inside the zone can be destroyed due to the high rate energy deposition. Studies on this particularity of high energy heavy ion irradiation and its effects in materials will cause great influence on industry as well as on our daily life.The previous work has revealed the great difference in the effects induced by high energy heavy ions compared to the other particles. It has been shown that under irradiation with lower LET particles gas release depends on molecular structure and material composition, whereas under irradiation with high LET particles, such as high energy heavy ions, it is not the case. Some materials that undergo degradation under γ-irradiation can be cross-linked by irradiation with high energy heavy ions. In some cases new molecular structures were induced by high energy heavy ions with sufficiently high LET values. In recent years we have irradiated polyethylterephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC) and polyimide (PI) with high energy Ar, Kr, Xe and U ion beams.Chemical and physical changes of the materials induced by the high energy heavy ion beams were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared ray spectroscopy, ultraviolet and visible transmission spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements, from which damage cross-sections of various functional groups were determined[1]. An energy loss threshold for damage of phenyl ring in PET has been derived and difference in amorphization of PET under high and low LET irradiations was observed. It is found that alkyne end groups can be induced in all the materials above a certain electronic energy loss threshold, which is found to be about 0.8 keV/nm for PS and 0.4 keV/nm for PC. The production cross-section of alkyne end group increases with increasing electronic energy loss and shows saturation at high electronic energy loss values.

Surface erosion induced by heavy ion backscattering analysis

Material removal induced by HIBS (Heavy Ion Backscattering Spectrometry) analysis has been investigated. For this purpose the thickness of thin metal films deposited on graphite was measured as a function of fluence of the Si and Ti projectile ion beam. Steady state erosion rates are in fair agreement with surface sputtering rates calculated by SRIM. For some layers however, the first few monolayers are removed at a much faster rate. A comparison with standard He RBS is made and consequences for the applicability of HIBS are discussed.

Development of function-graded proton exchange membrane for PEFC using heavy ion beam irradiation

The graded energy deposition of heavy ion beam irradiation to polymeric materials was utilized to synthesize a novel proton exchange membrane (PEM) with the graded density of sulfonic acid groups toward the thickness direction. Stacked Poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene) (FEP) films were irradiated by Xe⁵⁴⁺ ion beam with the energy of 6 MeV/u under a vacuum condition. The induced trapped radicals by the irradiation were measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Irradiated films were grafted with styrene monomer and then sulfonated. X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra showed that the densities of sulfonic acid groups were controlled for injection “Surface” and transmit “Back” sides of the fabricated PEM. The membrane electrode assembly (MEA) fabricated by the function-graded PEM showed improved fuel cell performance in terms of voltage stability. It was expected that the function-graded PEM could control the graded concentration of sulfonic acid groups in PEM.
