English | ISBN: 1617286761 | 2010 | 124 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Converters of neutron radiation play a determining role in the development of detectors of these radiations. They determine the basic characteristics of detectors: the efficiency of registration, energy, time and spatial resolution. Among solid-state converters on the basis of gadolinium, 157 isotopes are especially allocated, which possess abnormally high cross sections of interaction with thermal neutrons. This book discusses the theoretical bases of registration of neutron radiation by converters from gadolinium. Also described herein are the processes of neutron absorption in the material of a converter and the probability of secondary electron escapes.

Free Download Switching Strategies for Power Electronic Converters: Examples with Python Simulations (Synthesis Lectures on Power Electronics) by Shivkumar V. Iyer, Mohammad Nair Aalam
English | October 13, 2023 | ISBN: 3031414047 | 221 pages | MOBI | 19 Mb
This book provides a concise introduction to switching strategies for power electronics. It provides an in-depth examination of this one concept giving a newcomer a complete immersive experience which has both the depth that is needed to gain confidence yet is simple to understand. The authors examine the basic operation of power electronic systems from scratch and with the help of simulations, how these systems can be constructed. The approach used treats power electronics similar to puzzles and rather than merely presenting them and describing how they work, explore why they came to have the construction they have, and how they could potentially be modified. The authors make extensive use of simulations, with every theory and every result accompanied by a simulation. All simulations are performed by the free and open source Python programming language and the free and open source circuit simulator Python Power Electronics.
