Abstract

This work examined the beta irradiation and characterization of lead oxide nanoparticles samples that were prepared via pulsed laser deposition. The lead oxide nanoparticles samples were irradiated by beta-ray. Strontium 90 radioisotope was used as beta irradiation for different time periods (Days 1, 3, 4, and 5). The morphologies of lead oxide nanoparticles films were characterized with and without beta irradiation through the use of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). According to the findings, beta radiation impacted lead oxide nanoparticles samples’ morphological properties. The details of experimental setups, sample preparation procedures, and data analysis, are explicated.

Highlights

Nanoparticles (NPs) denote a broad array of materials [1]
The peak is S0 (22.80 nm), S1 (9.98 nm), S3 (5.48 nm), S5 (11.30 nm), and S5 (42.90 nm). These results reveal that the beta-ray irradiated surface of S1, S3, S4, and S5 was rougher compared to the S0 surface
As shown by the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, their materials were changed after beta irradiation

Summary

Introduction

Nanoparticles (NPs) denote a broad array of materials [1]. Of these, lead oxide (PbO) has been most intensively examined [2]. Various oxide materials like PbO are usually wide-bandgap compounds. For these characteristics, PbO-NPs denote attractive materials that are regarded as feasible for various applications [6-9]. PbO-NPs denote attractive materials that are regarded as feasible for various applications [6-9] The significance of these materials is found in many applications and devices [9-15]. PbO-NPs’ characterization and synthesis signify plenty of potential in various scientific fields [1827]. PLD has proven to be a versatile technique, in producing highquality complex nanostructured materials, such as PbO-NPs films
