Radiation dosimetry
Covering applications, basic principles and advanced
concepts in the discipline, the 219-page book Advanced Materials and Techniques
for Radiation Dosimetry discusses radiation sensing using thin and thick films,
and gamma radiation dosimetry using metal oxides and polymers. Sections address
such areas as the biological effects of radiation, medical use of ionization radiation,
and the effect of radiation on optical and electrical properties of materials, including
optical absorption and absorption spectra of amorphous solids. Sensor arrays and
multiple sensor materials incorporated into an array also are covered, along with
commercially available dosimetry equipment. Charts, diagrams and references are
provided. Khalil Arshak and Olga Korostynska, eds.; Artech House Inc., Norwood,
