The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of gamma (γ)-ray irradiation on capacitance and conductance features of Al/Graphene/Al2O3/p-Si structure. Graphene has been grown on copper foil by the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method and transferred onto Al2O3/p-Si by the wet transfer method. After Al/Graphene/Al2O3/p-Si structure has been exposed to 30 kGy and 60 kGy γ-ray irradiation, capacitance, and conductance measurements have been accomplished at 300 K. Electrical parameters have been compared before and after γ-ray irradiation for 50 kHz and 500 kHz. These results have been confirmed that capacitance and conductance values have increased after γ-ray irradiation and, have decreased when the radiation dose was increased from 30 kGy to 60 kGy. It has been observed that series resistance has decreased after 30 kGy radiation dose and has increased with increasing radiation dose.

Bacterial infections in medical devices and drug resistance of bacteria can cause chaos in the world due to loss of lives in addition to the cost of device revisions, quarantine, disinfection of infected areas, and patient treatment. Antibacterial coatings of essential oils on medical devices can prevent bacterial attachment and reduce costs. Linalool is an antibacterial constituent of essential oils. Herein, we examine for the first time the fabrication and characterization of radio frequency (RF) plasma polymerized hydrophilic thin films from linalool (ppLin) by varying deposition parameters (RF power and deposition time) and the behavior of ppLin with two bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) commonly related to microbial contamination of medical devices. While a dramatic reduction in E. coli and S. aureus attachment was observed on ppLin films, their hydrophilic surface was also bactericidal to S. aureus. Additionally, ppLin films were shown to be adherent and noncytotoxic to human fibroblast cells. ppLin can be potentially integrated into medical and other clinical devices as a promising low-cost biocompatible antimicrobial coating.

In this study, novel rhenium–boron neutron-shielding high-temperature-resistant materials were designed. The considered samples, Re60–B40, Re58–B42, Re50–B50, and Re40–B60, with different concentrations of rhenium and boron were investigated to elucidate their neutron-shielding performances, and compare them with well-known neutron-shielding materials such as the 316LN quality nuclear steel. In addition to the experimental studies, Monte Carlo simulations were performed using the FLUKA and GEANT4 codes, where 4.5-MeV neutrons emitted by a 241Am–Be source were employed. Experimental equivalent dose rates, simulated track lengths, energy balances, and neutron mass absorption cross sections were discussed in detail.
