Edge-defined, film-fed growth (EFG) technique for the preparation of alpha-Al2O3 : C crystal with highly sensitive thermoluminescence response

In this work, alpha-Al2O3:C, a highly sensitive thermoluminescence dosimetry crystal, was grown by the EFG method in which a graphite heating unit and shield acted as the carbon source during the growth process. The optical, luminescent properties and dosimetric characteristics of the crystal were investigated. The as-grown crystal shows a single glow peak at 536 K, which is associated with Cr3+ ions. After annealing in H-2 at 1673 K for 80 h, the crystal shows a single glow peak at 460 K and a blue emission band at 415 nm. The thermoluminescent response of the annealed crystal shows linear-sublinear-saturation characteristics in the dose range from 5 x 10(-6) to 100 Gy.

Growth of highly sensitive thermoluminescent crystal alpha-Al2O3 : C by the temperature gradient technique

In this work, an alpha-Al2O3:C crystal with highly sensitive thermoluminescence was directly grown by the temperature gradient technique (TGT) using Al2O3 and graphite powders as raw materials. The optical and luminescent properties and the dosimetric characteristics of the crystal were investigated. An as-grown alpha-Al2O3:C crystal shows a single glow peak at 462 K and a blue emission peak at 415 nm. The thermoluminescence (TL) response of the crystal shows a linear-sublinear-saturation characteristic. In the dose range from 5 x 10(-6) to 10Gy, the alpha-Al2O3:C crystal shows excellent linearity, and saturation was observed at about 30Gy. The sensitivity of the crystal decreases as the heating rate increases. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Growth of alpha-Al2O3:C crystal with highly sensitive optically stimulated luminescence

In this work. an alpha-Al2O3:C crystal was directly grown by the temperature gradient technique (TGT) using Al2O3 and graphite powders as the raw materials. The optical, optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) properties and dosimetric characteristics of as-grown crystal were investigated. As-grown alpha-Al2O3:C crystal shows strong absorption band at 205, 230 and 256 nm. Three-dimensional thermoluminescence (TL) emission spectrum of the crystal shows a single emission peak at similar to 415 nm. The OSL decay curve can be fitted to two exponentials, the faster component and the slower component. The OSL response of the crystal shows a linear-sublinear-saturation characteristic. As-grown alpha-Al2O3:C crystal shows excellent linearity in the dose range from 5 x 10(-6) to 50 Gy. For doses higher than the saturation dose (100 Gy). the OSL sensitivity decreases as the dose increases. Crown Copyright (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

生长素水平以及光敏色素基因表达与水稻生殖生长的关系

第一部分 光敏核不育水稻农垦58S花药IAA的免疫组织化学分析 光周期敏感核不育水稻农垦58S是研究光周期调节花发育作用机理的好材料。在此方面已取得很大进展。有关植物激素的研究已发现长日照诱导农垦58S不育的信号传导环节之一是IAA的亏缺。本文首次应用免疫组织化学分析方法对长日和短日处理后的农垦58S和对照农垦58花药中的IAA进行了定位研究和相对水平的比较。结果表明此方法可反映游离态IAA在花药中的分布及其相对水平的变化。从雌雄蕊原基形成期至单核晚期的五个时期中，经长日照处理的农垦58S花药中的IAA水平都低于短日照处理的农垦58S及在不同光周期处理下的家垦58花药。对花药中生长素的亏缺与育性的关系以及IAA亏缺的原因也进行了讨论。 第二部分 不同水稻品种成花诱导阶段光周期敏感性及光敏色素mRNA丰度的比较 对光敏核不育水稻十多年的研究表明，光敏色素是感受光周期信号调节水稻成花诱导和育性转换的主要光受体。同时还发现光敏核不育基因导入不同遗传背景后，其基因表达条件，如临界光长、光敏温度范围、光温互补作用强弱等都表现明显差异。为了进一步探讨水稻光周期反应的作用机理，了解不同品种遗传背景对光周期信号感受的特点，我们选取籼稻、粳稻、早熟、晚熟共11个品种，比较光照阶段在长同、短同条件下叶片光敏色素B mRNA含量的差异。初步结果表明，光敏色素B的转录不受光调控，在长日、短日处理条件下没有明显差别。在多数品种间光敏色素B表达没有明显差异，说明其与品种感光性、籼粳性无明显相关。只有早熟粳稻铁粳23的光敏色素B mRNA含量较高，是一个例外。实验结果尚需进一步重复。这方面的工作可以为水稻发育光温互作本质的研究积累一些初步资料。
