Structural and defect changes in black carbon charcoal irradiated with gamma ray

This study investigates the use of black carbon charcoal as passive radiation dosimetry, offering low dependence on photon energy and near soft tissue effective atomic number with state-of-the-art techniques. Regression an�alyses have now been conducted using graphite manufactured commercially in...
