As is well-known, porous nanomaterials have attracted increasing attention recently, and graphene-related materials (such as porous graphene) have been studied both experimentally and theoretically. Almost all researches are focused on nanoelectronics, supercapacitors, multifunctional membrances, bio-applications or others. Consequently, in order to understand the differences between porous graphene and normal graphene at adsorption and catalytic property, in this experiment, with the removal of metal ion (152 Eu(III) ) and organic matter (gallic acid) and reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) by NaBH 4 as model reactions, a systematic investigation into the adsorptive performance as well as catalytic activity of graphene with or without electron beam irradiation exposure had been carried out. As the results showed, compared with the reduction of pristine graphene oxidized (R-GO), the reduction of graphene oxidized with electron beam irradiation exposure (100 MGy, about 2 h, radiation graphene oxide (R-RGO)) had many irregular defects caused by lack of atoms; the adsorptive performance of the R-RGO increased for metals but decreased for organic matter. However, the adsorption rate of the R-RGO was lower for metals, but higher for organic matter than that of the R-GO. In addition, the results also showed that the R-RGO had a better catalytic capacity than the R-GO.

The goals of the paper were first the obtainment and characterization of sodium alginate-g-acrylamide polyelectrolytes by electron beam irradiation in the range of 0.5 to 2 kGy, and second, the evaluation of flocculation efficacy and heavy metal removal capacity from aqueous solutions of known concentrations. Based on sodium alginate concentration, two types of grafted polymers were obtained. Physical, chemical, and structural investigations were performed. Flocculation studies under different stirring conditions on 0.5, 0.1 and 0.2% kaolin suspension were done. The removal capacity of Cu2+ and Cr6+ ions was also investigated. The acrylamide grafting ratio on sodium alginate backbone was found up to 2000% for samples containing 1% sodium alginate and up to 500% for samples containing 2% sodium alginate. Transmittances between 98 and 100% were obtained using, in the flocculation studies, polyelectrolytes containing 2% sodium alginate in concentrations of 0.5 and 1 ppm on kaolin suspension of 0.1 wt %. The polymer concentration was found critical for kaolin suspension of 0.05 and 0.1 wt %. Polymers containing 1% sodium alginate were efficient in Cr6+ ion removal, while those containing 2% in Cu2+ ion removal.

One goal in electron microscopy of biological specimens is to improve the quality of data to equal the resolution capabilities of modem transmission electron microscopes. Radiation damage and beam- induced movement caused by charging of the sample, low image contrast at high resolution, and sensitivity to external vibration and drift in side entry specimen holders limit the effective resolution one can achieve. Several methods have been developed to address these limitations: cryomethods are widely employed to preserve and stabilize specimens against some of the adverse effects of the vacuum and electron beam irradiation, spot-scan imaging reduces charging and associated beam-induced movement, and energy-filtered imaging removes the “fog” caused by inelastic scattering of electrons which is particularly pronounced in thick specimens.Although most cryoholders can easily achieve a 3.4Å resolution specification, information perpendicular to the goniometer axis may be degraded due to vibration. Absolute drift after mechanical and thermal equilibration as well as drift after movement of a holder may cause loss of resolution in any direction.

Abstract In this paper, we revealed p+/n-well and n+/p-well junction characteristic changes caused by electron beam (EB) irradiation. Most importantly, we found a device contact side junction characteristic is relatively sensitive to EB irradiation than its whole device characteristic; an order of magnitude excess current appears at low forward bias region after 1kV EB acceleration voltage irradiation (Vacc). Furthermore, these changes were well interpreted by our Monte Carlo simulation results, the Shockley-Read Hall (SRH) model and the Generation-Recombination (G-R) center trap theory. In addition, four essential examining items were suggested and proposed for EB irradiation damage origins investigation and evaluation. Finally, by taking advantage of the excess current phenomenon, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) passive voltage contrast (PVC) fault localization application at n-FET region was also demonstrated.
