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.

    Grain boundary diffusion of Co, Ni, Ca, Cr in Co0
    (Australasian Ceramic Society, 1998) Kowalski, K; Moya, EG; Nowotny, J
    The diffusion of 60Co, 63Ni, 51Cr and 45Ca was measured in polycrystalline CoO by the radioactive tracer technique. The grain boundary diffusion product D’ds as well as the grain boundary enhancement factor D’ds /D were determined. The obtained diffusion data indicate that the grain boundary transport kinetics in both NiO and CoO are similar.

    Segregation in BaTi03 and its solid solutions
    (Australasian Ceramic Society, 1998) Bernasik, A; Hirschwald, W; Nowotny, J; Stolze, F
    Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) was applied to determine segregation-induced concentration gradients in BaTiO3 and its solid solutions. The obtained results indicate that the surface layer of undoped BaTiO3 and Nb-doped BaTiO3 is enriched in Ti. The effect of oxygen activity on segregation is reported.

    Grain boundary diffusion zirconia
    (Australasian Ceramic Society, 1998) Matsuda, M; Day, A; Leung, SHF; Nowotny, J; Prince, KC; Standard, OC; Sorrell, CC; Vance, ER; Zhang, Z
    Ca diffusion profiles in yttria-stabilised zirconia (10%) were determined using Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX) in the temperature range 800-1000°C. Both bulk and grain boundary diffusion coefficient of Ca in zirconia were calculated.

    Thermal behaviour of Ti, Fe and Mo implanted yttria cubic stabilised zirconia (Y-CSZ)
    (Australasian Ceramic Society, 1998) Zhang, Z; Cusick, GP; Evans. PJ; Prince, KE; Lamb RN
    We have implanted polycrystalline yttria cubic stabilised zirconia surfaces (10 mol% Y2O3) with Ti, Fe and Mo ions. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) was used to investigate the surface chemical composition of the modified surfaces as a function of postimplantation thermal annealing temperature, and this was compared with the concentration distribution of the implanted ions in the modified near-surface region as determined by Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) and dynamic Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS). Annealing in air at 400°C results in the implanted ions in their fully oxidised states: Ti4+, Fe3+ and Mo6+, respectively. With the increase of annealing temperature, the surface concentration of implanted ions decreases, as a result of diffusion into the bulk (Ti and Fe) or surface evaporation (Mo).

    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.
