Seminar topic: “Surface changes investigation of “MASHA” steel components by Mössbauer spectroscopy”

Speaker: Pavel Kohout

Abstract:

The defects of steel components of MASHA experimental setup will be studied using Mössbauer spectroscopy. The determination the structural changes of surface properties can be analysed in detail. These changes can negatively involve the pathway of primary beam and products in the SHE synthesis and characterisation experiments. Vacuum chambers, tubes as well as special chambers (hot catcher, cryo-chambers) surface properties are crucial for attracting the products of SHE experiments due to the changes in electronic properties of phase components, porosity etc. due to the continuous irradiation at high doses. Mössbauer spectrometer was produced in cooperation with Palacký University in Olomouc.
