ANSTO Publications Online

Welcome to the ANSTO Institutional Repository known as APO.

The APO database has been migrated to version 8.3. The functionality has changed, but the content remains the same.

ANSTO Publications Online is a digital repository for publications authored by ANSTO staff since 2007. The Repository also contains ANSTO Publications, such as Reports and Promotional Material. ANSTO publications prior to 2007 continue to be added progressively as they are in identified in the library. ANSTO authors can be identified under a single point of entry within the database. The citation is as it appears on the item, even with incorrect spelling, which is marked by (sic) or with additional notes in the description field.

If items are only held in hardcopy in the ANSTO Library collection notes are being added to the item to identify the Dewey Call number: as DDC followed by the number.

APO will be integrated with the Research Information System which is currently being implemented at ANSTO. The flow on effect will be permission to publish, which should allow pre-prints and post prints to be added where content is locked behind a paywall. To determine which version can be added to APO authors should check Sherpa Romeo. ANSTO research is increasingly being published in open access due mainly to the Council of Australian University Librarians read and publish agreements, and some direct publisher agreements with our organisation. In addition, open access items are also facilitated through collaboration and open access agreements with overseas authors such as Plan S.

ANSTO authors are encouraged to use a CC-BY licence when publishing open access. Statistics have been returned to the database and are now visible to users to show item usage and where this usage is coming from.

    Bulk vs. interface transport in undoped CoO
    (Australasian Ceramic Society, 1998) Nowotny, J; Yoo, HI
    This paper considers the local properties of the grain boundary layer in terms of the effect of segregation on its defect chemistry and related transport properties. Impact of enhanced transport along grain boundaries on electrochemical properties of polycrystalline CoO will be discussed.

    Defect chemistry of the electrode material (La, Sr)Mn03
    (Australasian Ceramic Society, 1998) Nowotny, J; Rekas, M
    Defect structure of (La,Sr)MnO3 is described in terms of Brouwer-type diagrams. It was shown that conduction in this compound in the p-type regime involves both electrons and electron holes in a wide range of p(O2). At higher p(O2) the concentration of cation vacancies assumes substantial values. Addition of Sr results in an increase of the concentration of electron holes.

    The Australian synchrotron - a progress report
    (Australian Nuclear Association, 2003-11-05) Boldeman, JW; Jackson, A; Seaborne, G; Hobbs, R; Garrett, RF
    This paper summarises progress with the development of the Australian Synchrotron. The facility is based on the Boomerang Storage Ring which has a DBA structure with 14 superperiods. The design objective was to achieve a low emittance in a relatively compact circumference that had an excellent dynamic aperture and was obust with respect to potential construction aberrations. The potential suite of beamline and instrument stations is discussed and some examples are given.

    Cold crucible technology - melting ceramics by induction heating
    (Australian Nuclear Association, 2003-11-05) La Robina, M; Moricca, SA
    As a result of collaboration with various organisations, we have developed over the last few years, cold crucible technology that would allow us to melt ceramics. We had a need to prove the capability of the process and the durability of ceramic wasteforms it produced for immobilising nuclear waste. Typically in the laboratory, melting operations were carried out in expensive platinum crucibles heated in conventional resistance furnaces. The process times were long and laborious. The need for an induction melting process at the laboratory scale was soon apparent. The results by conventional melting were excellent as was the durability of the product, however, cold crucible vitrification was the path chosen by our many organisations to process the large amounts of nuclear waste. The development of a laboratory scale cold crucible able to melt ceramics, glasses and glass-ceramics was needed so that we could validate the wasteform formulations in induction melting, here we present some results from our experiments to melt various materials using cold crucibles.

    Ultra-sensitive detection of nuclear signatures in support of IAEA safeguards
    (Australian Nuclear Association, 2003-11-05) Hotchkis, MAC; Child, DP; Tuniz, C; Williams, M
    The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) applies a range of ultra-sensitive detection techniques to provide assurance that Member States are in compliance with their safeguards agreements. Environmental samples are collected which can contain minute traces of nuclear material or other evidence. Careful analysis of these samples reveals the nature of the activities undertaken in the vicinity of the sampling point. This paper reviews the analytical techniques that are being applied. To ensure that the IAEA has access to the best available methods, samples are distributed to a group of qualified laboratories around the world for analysis. The Accelerator Mass Spectrometry facility at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) is part of this select group of laboratories, and is the only AMS facility currently accredited with the IAEA. AMS provides the highest sensitivity available for detection of particularly useful signature radioisotopes, including 129I,236U and plutonium isotopes.
