PhD abstract

Isotopic analysis of actinides is necessary for fuel cycle management, non-proliferation treaty control or environmental monitoring. The accuracy of these analyses may be limited by the performance of the detector used but also by the uncertainties associated with the emission intensities available in the nuclear data tables. The disintegration of actinides is generally followed by intense X-ray and gamma photon emissions in the energy range below 100 keV. Their detection may be of particular interest for actinide analysis. However, conventional measurement techniques do not allow to properly separate the lines of the considered emissions. This thesis was devoted to the measurement of intensities using a cryogenic detector. The latter is based on a magnetic metallic calorimeter (MMC) that measures energy deposition as a temperature rise. The MMC, called SMX3, has four pixels and is specifically designed for high resolution X-ray and gamma spectrometry in the energy range below 100 keV to measure actinide emission intensities. In addition to the high resolution provided by SMX3 through its operating principle, this detector has a constant detection efficiency and almost equal to 100% over the energy range below 25 keV, where actinides' XL rays are emitted.The SMX3 yield curve was calibrated by a method that consists of a single standard source measurement of Am-241 combined with Monte Carlo simulations. The three actinides Pu-238, Pu-239, and Cm-244 were measured to provide absolute and relative intensities of Li-Yj emissions (with Y=L,M,N,O,P i=1,2,3 and j=1..7). Thanks to the very high energy resolution of the MMC, the individual XL lines of actinides can be separated. Satellite lines are also detected, their intensities relative to the diagram lines depend on the isotope according to the fundamental atomic parameters. The intensities of the individual XL lines could be determined for the first time, especially for the transitions L₁-L₃. In addition, the intensities of the XLi regions (i=1,2,3) were established. The intensities of the overall XL and XL groups are compared with the calculations and experimental data available in the literature.

In France, the references associated to the neutron fluence and the deriva-ted dosimetric quantities are under the responsability of the micro-irradiation and neutronmetrology and dosimetry laboratory (LMDN)of IRSN. In order to improve the definition ofreferences in fluence and energy of the monoenergetic neutron fields, produced at AMANDEfacility, a micro-TPC gaseous detector, called LNE-IRSN-MIMAC, is developping in collabo-ration with LPSC.In a previous work, the detector was qualified for neutron fields in the energy rangebetween 27 keV and 565 keV. The objective of the present work is to extend the range of theμTPC above 1 MeV. The choice of the gas, the development of an analysis method and thedetector characterization allowed to validate the detector capacity to perform measurements inmonoenergetic neutron fields ranging from 250 keV up to 6,5 MeV with a relative uncertaintyof 3% and 2,5% respectively in energy and fluence.

Chalcogenide materials are compounds based on S, Se, and Te elements from group VI of the periodic table. They are receiving an extensive interest not only for applications in resistive memories (PCRAM and CBRAM), photonics and photovoltaics but also in the development of new 2-D materials (e.g. spintronics applications). Chalcogenide materials are already present in the semiconductor roadmaps and it is already replacing flash memories (e.g. phase change material and ovonic threshold switch in new random access memory). For the next technology nodes, chalcogenide properties can be scaled by tuning the chemical composition or by reducing the film thickness. Nonetheless, it also means that their properties become more tightly influenced by the chemical composition, the surface/interface effects and the depth-profile composition. Hence, dedicated metrology protocols must be developed, first to assist the optimization of chalcogenide materials processes in cleanroom environment, then to allow non-destructive process monitoring with industry-driven uncertainties. In this PhD thesis, we developed metrology protocols based on X-ray techniques, dedicated to thin chalcogenides materials and fully compatible with inline monitoring. First, we used quasi in-situ X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) to characterize the surface of Ge, Sb, Te thin materials and compounds, and to study the composition-dependent evolution of the surface after air break and ageing. The efficiency of in situ capping strategies to protect Te-based and Se-based thin layered materials from ageing was also investigated. Secondly, we demonstrated the ability of improved metrology strategies based on in-line Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) and XPS to accurately quantify the chemical composition of Ge-Sb-Te compounds (from 1 to 200 nm) and ultrathin 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (MoS₂, WS₂). Combined WDXRF/XPS analysis was used to determine refined values of composition-dependent relative sensitivity factors for Te4d, Sb4d and Ge3d that allow for XPS-based metrology of PCRAM materials with mastered accuracy. We pointed the need for in-depth study of the significant matrix effects that alter the ability of WDXRF to quantify Nitrogen in Ge-Sb-Te materials: ion beam analysis was carefully investigated as possible input for WDXRF calibration, and a WDXRF protocol was established for inline monitoring of N-doped Ge-Sb-Te films in a specific process window. Finally, we investigated two ways to non-destructively characterize the in-depth chemical distribution in thin chalcogenide films: we demonstrated that the combination of XRF in grazing incidence geometry (GIXRF) and X-ray reflectometry (XRR) was able to unambiguously reveal small process differences along with process-induced diffusion in 10 nm-thick stackings. We showed that the use of multilayered substrate instead of silicon allowed fine-tuning of the depth-dependent X-ray standing wave field, resulting in improved sensitivity of XRR/GIXRF strategies. We also developed an angle-resolved XPS protocol for the evaluation of the first deposition steps of GeTe and Ge₂Sb₂Te₅ films, revealing the process-dependent elemental distribution as a function of the film growth. Therefore, in this work we not only elaborated advanced metrology protocols for the development of new chalcogenide films but also metrological solutions for the next technology nodes (28 nm and below), since current in-line metrology tools reach their detection limits.

PhD abstract

Reactor dosimetry is used to determine the neutron fluence during an irradiation and to characterize its spectrum (neutron energy distribution). This technique is based on the analysis of the activity of irradiated dosimeters, made of pure metals or alloys. The activity measurement of these samples is performed by gamma and/or X-ray spectrometry and is currently based on specific standard dosimeters, validated for the measurement conditions. The goal of the thesis is to avoid this calibration step and to be able to directly measure the activity of the sample. The study focused specifically on niobium and rhodium dosimeters which are used to characterize neutrons in the energy range around 1 MeV. Their activation produces 93mNb and 103mRh, respectively. These two radionuclides decay through an isomeric gamma transition, emitting mainly K X-rays with energies around 20 keV, on which the spectrometric activity measurement is based. However, owing to their low energy, these X-rays are particularly difficult to measure accurately. The various parameters required to determine the activity of the dosimeters, with a relative standard uncertainty of around 2%, were studied in detail. The work initially focused on the calibration of hyper-pure germanium (HPGe) detectors in the energy range between 11 keV and 150 keV. This is a crucial step in determining the activity of a radionuclide sample and is difficult to achieve in the energy range of interest. The experimental approach, using standard point sources, was coupled with semi-empirical modelling and simulations of radiation-matter interactions by Monte Carlo methods (PENELOPE and GEANT4). These methods have made it possible to study in detail the photons scattering at low energy, around 20 keV, which interferes with the full-energy peaks in the spectra and disturbs their analysis. In a second step, Monte Carlo simulations were used to calculate the correction factors needed to derive the dosimeter activity: self-absorption of photons in the dosimeter material and the geometry change between the calibration conditions (point source) and the measurement conditions (solid metal sample). The fluorescence induced by impurities (in the dosimeter material or created during irradiation in the reactor) was studied and the correction factors to be applied were established. Radioactive decay data, particularly photon emission intensities, are the main components of the uncertainty in dosimeter activity results. X-ray emission intensities are rarely measured experimentally and most often their values are calculated from fundamental parameters i.e. internal conversion coefficients and fluorescence yields, and a balanced decay scheme, of the nuclide. Several experiments were designed to provide new experimental data. The mass attenuation coefficients and K fluorescence yields of niobium and rhodium were determined using a monochromatic photon beam at the SOLEIL synchrotron facility. The photon emission intensities of 103mRh were measured using two approaches, one from rhodium activated at the ISIS reactor and the other from a solution of palladium 103. All these new values are compared with previously published data and the decay scheme of 103mRh is discussed.

Electronic Brachytherapy (eBT), also called contact radiotherapy, is a cancer treatment technique using low energy X-Rays (≤ 50 keV) generated by X-Ray tubes which are placed in close contact with the treated lesions. The latest evolutions of miniaturized X-Ray tubes led to the development of new treatment systems, such as the INTRABEAM® system of the ZEISS Company which is the most available eBT system and the only one currently used in France. Beside its medical benefit, the potential major advantages of treatment by eBT are the drastic decrease in patient discomfort and treatment cost. In the case of breast cancer treatment with such technique, the treatment is given in a single session that lasts 20 to 50 minutes where a high dose, in the order of 20 Gy, is delivered to the tumor bed surface in contact with spherical applicators associated to the X-Ray source. The delivered dose decreases rapidly with depth (< 1 Gy after a few centimeters) enabling to preserve neighboring healthy tissues. In France, the first IORT treatment performed was in Nantes in 2011. Today, ten medical centers offer IORT treatment using the INTRABEAM® system. Consequently, several medical physicists addressed to the French national metrology laboratory for ionizing radiation (LNHB) their need for a dosimetric traceability with a reference independent from the manufacturer. This need was reaffirmed by the French Authority for Health (HAS), in their report on the evaluation of the IORT for breast cancer treatment published in April 2016. This thesis work is a contribution to the metrological work initiated by LNHB for enhancing the safety of employing IORT by eBT systems. It was limited, within the thesis period, to the INTRABEAM® system associated with a 4 cm diameter spherical applicator. The thesis work was oriented towards three main objectives. The first one concerned the establishment and the transfer of a primary dosimetric standard, in terms of absorbed dose to water at 1 cm depth in water. The methodology was developed and applied on the INTRABEAM® system with 4 cm spherical applicator, for which, the dosimetric reference was established. The second objective was to use a dosimetric gel and the Monte Carlo method to assess the 3D spatial distribution of the relative absorbed dose delivered by such a system. The dosimetric gel system used was a Fricke-based hydrogel read by Magnetic Resonance Imaging at Service Hospitalier Frédéric Joliot in Orsay (SHFJ). The gel reading was calibrated, in terms of absorbed dose for low energy X-Rays (< 50 keV), and then used to define the relative dose distributions of the INTRABEAM® X-Ray source associated with the 4 cm spherical applicator in the axial and transverse planes of the X-Ray source probe tip. The last objective was to compare the dosimetric data delivered by Zeiss, for the INTRABEAM® system used at St. Louis hospital in Paris, by the ones obtained in the current study for the same system. Significant discrepancies were found from this comparison between the doses delivered by Zeiss and those obtained in the current study. Discrepancies were also observed in a separate work conducted by the PTB under a different INTRABEAM® configuration. Some reasons of these discrepancies are outlined and discussed in this study.

Protocols for cancer treatment using intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) allow to target the tumor with an increased precision. They require accurate anatomical information of the patient just before the treatment, which can be obtained using on-board imaging systems mounted on the medical linear accelerator delivering the treatment beam. These systems, composed of an X-ray tube and a 2D planar detector, are called kV-Cone Beam CT (kV-CBCT). Nowadays, they are widely used in the context of IMRT treatments. However, these kV-CBCT examinations are also responsible for an additional dose of ionizing radiations which is far to be negligible and could be the cause for secondary effects, such as radiation-induced second cancers for treated patients. During this PhD work, a simulator based on the Monte Carlo method was developed in order to calculate accurately the doses delivered to organs during kV-CBCT examinations. Then, this tool was used to study several strategies to take in account for the imaging additional doses in clinical environment. The study reported here includes, in particular, a fast and personalized method to estimate the doses delivered to organs. This strategy was developed using a cohort of 50 patients including 40 children and 10 adults. This work has been done in collaboration with the medical physics unit of the Eugène Marquis medical center in Rennes, which has collected the clinical data used for this study.
