Emission of Weak Electrons: Dosimetry of Nanovolumes

Radiation Measurements 2013
Jurijs Dehtjars

Modern radiation therapy (RT) technologies and the needs of molecular and micro radiobiology have necessitated the detection of radiation absorbed by micro/nano volumes. The possibility of developing a nano/micro-scale dosimeter is demonstrated via the use of prethreshold photoelectron and exoelectron emission from solid-state nanolayers (Si, bone) and nanofilms (ZrO2:PbS). The experiments indicate that the absorbed dose threshold depends on the detector origin.
