Artigo IPEN-doc 28524 Magnetic and structural properties of the intermetallic Ce(1−x)LaxCrGe3 series of compounds2021 - BOSCH-SANTOS, B.; CABRERA-PASCA, G.A.; CORREA, E.L.; CORREA, B.S.; SALES, T.N.S.; MOON, K-W.; DENNIS, C.L.; HUANG, Q.; LEAO, J.B.; LYNN, J.W.; CARBONARI, A.W.The Ce(1−x)LaxCrGe3 (x = 0, 0.19, 0.43, 0.58, and 1) intermetallic compound system has been investigated by magnetization measurements and neutron scattering techniques to determine the effect of La doping on the magnetic ordering and exchange interaction between Cr ions. The structural and magnetic characterization in this series was first verified by x-ray diffraction and bulk magnetization measurements. The samples exhibit the known hexagonal perovskite structure (P63/mmc space group) and have a single magnetic phase according to magnetizationmeasurements. In this paper, the ferromagnetic ordering temperature for Cr evolves smoothly from a range of 68 K to 77 K for CeCrGe3 to a range of 91 K to 96 K for LaCrGe3 as La replaces Ce. Magnetization results indicate the formation of domain walls below the transition temperature for all Ce(1−x)LaxCrGe3 systems investigated. Neutron results indicate ordered magnetic Cr moments aligned along the c axis for the x = 1 LaCrGe3 system, as well as for x = 0.19, 0.43, and 0.58, which contrasts with the x = 0 CeCrGe3 where the moments order in the ab plane.Artigo IPEN-doc 25736 Application of a Tandem system for HVL evaluation in computed tomography2019 - FONTES, LADYJANE P.; CORREA, EDUARDO L.; POTIENS, MARIA da P.A.Computed tomography (CT) is a method of imaging used for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Different from the conventional diagnostic radiology equipment, where the test for the determination of the half value layer (HVL) is recommended, in CT equipment due to its geometry, the determination of the HVL is a difficult task and is usually only provided by the manufacturer. The effective energy of a beam is determined by definition, by means of HVL determination. When HVL values are not easily determined, as in the case of CT, it is possible to evaluate the effective energy of the beam through a system consisting of the use of different energy dependent dosimeters, where the ratio between the calibration curve responses in energy can provide the effective energy of the beam (Tandem system). The system used in this work for the evaluation of HVL in computed tomography is composed of groups formed by an ionization chamber of the pencil-type and cylindrical absorber layers of aluminum and Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).Artigo IPEN-doc 25107 Influence of the vials radioactive residue in Nuclear Medicine procedure applied to a new “in situ” activimeter calibration methodology2019 - KUAHARA, L.T.; CORREA, E.L.; CARNEIRO, R.C.G.; BEZERRA, R.R.L.; POTIENS, M.P.A.In this study we present a new “in situ” calibration methodology establishment for activimeters – i.e., this equipment calibration can be made at the hospital and/or the nuclear medicine service (NMS) – and also the importance of considering vials radioactive residue when generating the calibration coefficient in terms of activity (NA). For the calibration, two methods are presented here: in the first, 99mTc sample activity (AC) is measured in the NMS. Then it is sent to the Instruments Calibration Laboratory (LCI/IPEN) where the reference activity (AR) is obtained under controlled conditions in a reference vial. After geometry and residue corrections, NA is calculated. In the second method, AR is obtained at the LCI, then 99mTc sample is sent to the hospital/NMS, where AC is measured and NA calculated. Calibration methodologies were applied to three NMS and to four equipment belonging to the radiopharmaceutical production facility (CR) at the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN). Both methodologies were tested with and without residual activity corrections under controlled conditions. Variations of up to 4% were obtained.Artigo IPEN-doc 24856 Synthesis and atomic scale characterization of Er2O3 nanoparticles2018 - CORREA, EDUARDO L.; BOSCH-SANTOS, BRIANNA; FREITAS, RAFAEL S.; POTIENS, MARIA da P.A.; SAIKI, MITIKO; CARBONARI, ARTUR W.In the investigation reported in this paper a modified thermal decomposition method was developed to produce very small Er2O3 nanoparticles (NPs). Particles structure, shape and size were characterized by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy which showed that the synthesis by thermal decomposition under O2 atmosphere produced very small and monodisperse NPs, allowing the investigation of finite-size and surface effects. Results of magnetization measurements showed that the smallest particles present the highest values of susceptibility that decrease as particle size increases. Specific heat measurements indicate that the sample with the smallest NPs (diameter ∼5 nm) has a Néel temperature of 0.54 K. The local structure of particles was investigated by measurements of hyperfine interactions with perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy using 111Cd as probe nuclei replacing the cationic sites. Results showed that the relative population of sites 8b increases in both the core and surface layer of particles.
