Carrier Generation and Recombination01:22

Carrier Generation and Recombination

1.5K
Carrier generation is the process by which electron-hole pairs (EHPs) are created within the semiconductor. In direct-bandgap semiconductors, such as gallium arsenide (GaAs), this occurs efficiently when energy absorption prompts valence electrons to leap into the conduction band, leaving behind holes.
This process is given by the generation rate G and is efficient due to the conservation of momentum between the valence band maximum and conduction band minimum.
Indirect generation involves an...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

7.3K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS): Interferences01:20

Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS): Interferences

1.6K
Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP–MS) is a highly selective and sensitive technique for accurate elemental analysis. Though the analysis of ICP–MS mass spectra is comparatively straightforward, it is affected by spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic interferences. Spectroscopic interferences arise when the plasma contains ionic species with an m/z value the same as the analyte ion. Spectroscopic interference can be categorized as isobaric, polyatomic ions, and...

Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP–MS): Overview

2.5K
In inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP–MS), an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) torch is used as an atomizer and ionizer. Solid samples are dissolved and volatilized before being introduced into the high-temperature argon plasma, while solution samples are nebulized and passed through the high-temperature argon plasma. Plasma dissociates the analytes and ionizes their component atoms to form a mixture of positive ions and molecular species. The positive ions are then...

Mass Analyzers: Common Types

1.8K
The quadrupole mass analyzer consists of four cylindrical metal rods arranged in a diamond carrying a DC voltage and a radio-frequency AC voltage. The motion of ions through the quadrupole depends on the field strength, causing only ions of a certain m/z to resonate successfully and strike the detector at a given field strength. Though the transmission rate for these analyzers is high, the exact elemental composition of the sample is not determined because of low resolution; however, they are...

Exon Recombination02:32

Exon Recombination

4.3K
The evolution of new genes is critical for speciation. Exon recombination, also known as exon shuffling or domain shuffling, is an important means of new gene formation. It is observed across vertebrates, invertebrates, and in some plants such as potatoes and sunflowers. During exon recombination, exons from the same or different genes recombine and produce new exon-intron combinations, which might evolve into new genes. 
Exon shuffling follows “splice frame rules.” Each exon...

Summary

Charge overlap in liquid-filled ionization chambers (LICs) increases recombination. The two-dose-rate method remains applicable for saturation corrections, but voltage-dependent methods based on the Boag equation fail in overlapping scenarios.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Detection and Measurement

Background:

  • Liquid-filled ionization chambers (LICs) are susceptible to charge carrier recombination, particularly under pulsed irradiation.
  • Existing saturation correction methods, like the Boag equation, assume complete charge collection between pulses, which is often not met in clinical settings due to short pulse repetition frequencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally and numerically characterize charge collection efficiencies in LICs beyond the Boag limit, specifically addressing scenarios with overlapping charge carriers from different pulses.
  • To evaluate the applicability of existing saturation correction methods in the presence of charge overlap.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated recombination in a LIC array by varying dose-per-pulse, pulse repetition frequency, and polarization voltage.
  • Conducted measurements using a Truebeam Linac (FF and FFF modalities) and employed the two-dose-rate method combined with a reference chamber for efficiency determination.
  • Utilized numerical simulations to complement experimental findings on collection efficiencies.

Main Results:

  • Charge overlap significantly increases recombination in LICs.
  • The functional dependence of collection efficiencies on dose-per-pulse remains linear in the near-saturation region, even with overlap.
  • The dependence of collection efficiencies on polarization voltage deviates from the Boag equation predictions in the overlapping scenario.

Conclusions:

  • The two-dose-rate method can be adapted for saturation corrections in LICs with charge overlap, provided measurements are made at the same pulse repetition frequency.
  • Correction methods relying on the voltage-dependence of the Boag equation (e.g., three-voltage method) are not suitable for overlapping charge carrier situations in LICs.
