Radical Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses electron spin resonance to study radicals produced by radiation and light.
AboutAbout the lab
Studying the effects of radiation through radicals
The Radical Chemistry Lab uses electron spin resonance to study radicals that form in materials when they are exposed to radiation or light.
Its research topics include work to reduce hydrogen generation during the cement solidification disposal of low-level radioactive waste, and a study of the elementary reactions of photocatalysts at cryogenic temperatures.
The lab also studies long-lived radicals involved in the bystander effect, which occurs through the culture medium, and develops and evaluates tungsten-based radiation shielding materials.
In the university's researcher directory, the lab is listed under the Division of Materials Creation, Institute of Materials and Systems for Sustainability.
Key terms
- Radical
- An atom or molecule with an unpaired electron, which makes it highly reactive
- Electron spin resonance
- A measurement method that uses the spin of electrons to study substances with unpaired electrons, such as radicals
- Bystander effect
- A phenomenon in which the effects of radiation also appear in cells that were not directly irradiated
ResearchResearch themes
This lab studies radicals using methods such as electron spin resonance. Its research topics span the disposal of low-level radioactive waste, photocatalysts, the biological effects of radiation, and radiation shielding materials.
